FED:Jetstar diverts plane with technical hitch

A Jetstar flight from Denpasar to Melbourne was forced to divert to Adelaide early
today .. after a technical problem in one of its engines.

The issue affected flight JQ36 .. an Airbus A330 (A330) aircraft with 226 passengers
and 11 crew aboard.

Jetstar says the problem meant the aircraft's right engine was "operating on a lower
power setting".

The plane landed without incident at Adelaide Airport shortly before 7am (CDT) after
the problem was detected.

The airline arranged for a connecting flight from Adelaide to get passengers to Melbourne.
