200 Qantas passengers stranded overnight

Qantas is investigating the cause of another engineering problem.

More than 200 passengers were stranded in Sydney last night when their New Zealand bound flight was aborted just before take off after damage was found on the right wing.

Meantime, it's been revealed faulty Qantas and Jetstar equipment is responsible for nearly half of all curfew breaches at Sydney airport over the past twelve months.

Water leaks on vital electrical equipment, fuel leaks and faulty brake hoses are some of the reasons for delayed flights.

This week sees the departure of Mr Dixon. Mr Joyce of Qantas elcheapo offshot Jetstar will take over. Will Mr Joyce be the first CEO to reign over a major Qantas accident resulting in hudreds of deaths for the airline? One thing for sure as every day passes Qantas is getting closer to that inevetible day. The bad maintenace of the last few years coupled with the elcheapo approach may not be a good mix.
