Travel plans in disarray as OzJet grounded
20th May 2009, 16:45 WST
Passengers at Perth Airport are furious after their travel plans were thrown into disarray today.
The effective grounding of OzJet’s operations in Perth over unpaid airport charges has affected thousands of Bali holiday makers.
The grounding of the airline, which operates to Derby and twice weekly Bali charters for IndoJet, is due to unpaid airport charges.
Perth Airport chief executive Brad Geatches told thewest.com.au that it would not process its passengers because the airport was owed more than $200,000 in back payments.
Perth Airport staff today helped ground-handling agents who were left to tell about 70 passengers their travel plans were in limbo.
Passengers were furious that there was no representative from IndoJet in attendance and that they had not been phoned with the news.
Late today Indojet’s website was still accepting bookings for flights on OzJet aircraft.
Devastated passenger Chelsea Dyer said it was very unfair and extremely unprofessional behaviour.
