The airline saw one in every 14 flights cancelled last month amid its struggles with punctuality.
In an aviation report for March, the Bureau detailed how each airline in Australia had progressed over the month.
The vast majority of passengers impacted by the cancellations or delays were travelling between states on the same day. "We know there’s more to be done to improve our punctuality and we continue to invest in new aircraft, recruit more staff in customer service, engineering and operational roles and upgrade our systems and processes to provide a more consistently reliable schedule," a Jetstar spokesperson said.
"In the event of a disruption, we provide a range of support to customers including next available flights, refunds, airport refreshment vouchers, overnight accommodation as well as covering meals and other reasonable costs including transport to and from the airport and extended airport car parking," the spokesperson added.
