AUSTRALIAN carrier Jetstar grounded four aircraft on Thursday night after missing maintenance inspections.
The A320 aircraft were serviced overnight, forcing the cancellation of two return services on Thursday.
Emergency light batteries on board the aircraft were tested, while hydraulic fluid was sampled and door switches were lubricated.
All aircraft were returned to operation on Friday.
Jetstar has advised the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of the grounding.
“Safety is our number one priority and there was no risk to the safety of the aircraft,” Jetstar spokeswoman Andrea Wait said, adding that she not know where the four aircraft were grounded.
A CASA spokesman said the aviation watchdog would check to ensure that Jetstars maintenance systems are robust.
