Outage outrage. If you’re catching a Jetstar flight this afternoon, you might be in for a long wait. Flights around Australia are being delayed due to today’s Telstra network outage.
Some flights disrupted due to @Telstra outage. 9 AU flights delayed ~45mins; check-in for some flights paused; some ports manual check-in.

At the moment, nine different domestic Aussie flights are delayed by at least 45 minutes, and check-in for subsequent flights is either being paused or completed manually — y’know, by hand — in some locations.
Update: Jetstar’s systems are back online:
IT systems back online at major airports following @Telstra outage. We’re working to get everyone on their way ASAP https://t.co/5tQETuXVTm
