SINGAPORE: An Australia-bound flight from here was delayed after police were called in to deal with an escalating dispute among three passengers over a phone. Jetstar flight 3K161 was supposed to have departed Singapore at 11.20pm on Friday (Dec 22) and arrived in Darwin at 5.20am on Saturday. In response to queries from The Straits Times, Jetstar Group spokesman Robin Goh said on Saturday that the plane returned to the gate while taxiing at Changi Airport on Friday. The Straits Times understands that the dispute arose when an in-flight announcement was made for passengers to switch off their phones. Goh said three passengers were involved in a dispute on a flight and verbal threats were made.
