Jetstar initially offered $600 compensation to a stranded family and later agreed to full reimbursement after media intervention.

Jetstar faces criticism for initially offering $600 compensation to a family stranded due to CrowdStrike outages and a mechanical issue. The family's expenses totaled $7,000. After media intervention, Jetstar agreed to fully reimburse them. This incident is part of Jetstar's ongoing issue of assuring passengers their costs will be covered but later breaking the promise, possibly prompting a proposed Ombudsman to consider such issues.
