What: Jetstar Airbus A320-200 en route from Adelaide to Darwin
Where: Adelaide
When: Mar 15th 2010
Who: 163 passengers
Why: While en route, the right engine made a “bang” and the crew returned to Adelaide.

The plane’s right engine either emitted fire, or sparks or nothing at all. (The story depends on who you ask.) This fire that didn’t happen was or wasn’t put out by a fire extinguisher before landing. (This story also depends on who you ask.)

According to Jetstar, there was no fire, only a mechanical fault.
