Jetstar A320 aborts landing on Hamilton Island

UPDATE: 4pm Fri 30 Sep 2011

I went back and had a look at the official wind records for the day (see below):
There were no extraordinary gusts of wind during the landings.

ORIGINAL STORY 11pm Thur 29 Sept 2011
A Jetstar / Qantas flight from Sydney to Hamilton Island flight JQ848 had to abort its landing on Hamilton Island at 2.20pm yesterday. So we asked Jetstar via Twitter about the aborted landing:

@QLDOnline: @JetstarNews Hi, may I ask reason for aborted landing by Jetstar on Hamilton Island yesterday?

Tweet from @JetstarNews - 1645 29 Sept 2011 in reply to our question/tweet above.

I was at Hamilton Island Airport at that time and witnessed the Airbus A320 bounce big time on its first attempted landing, then take off again - the conditions on Hamilton Island at that time were (described by a very experienced pilot) as 'perfect flying weather'.

Below are the official readings from the Bureau of Meteorology's Weather station, about 100 metres from the Hamilton Island runway, and image from the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences, taken at the time of the landing of the Jetstar Airbus A320.

Does this image (taken 4 minutes earlier of Jetstar aborted landing) represent 'bad weather' '?

Above, the first chart is Visibility - you will note there was unlimited visibility.
The second chart shows the conditions at the time the Jetstar Airbus A320 first bounced onto Hamilton Island.
The third article is an image of the conditions taken from the AIMS Research centre, 50km NE of Hamilton Island, taken just 4 minutes before the 'Jetstar Bounce' on Hamilton Island.

So, why is Jetstar telling us the aborted landing was a weather issue when the weather has been confirmed by another pilot as 'perfect flying weather'?

I personally watched the Jetstar flight land on Hamilton Island, bounce, then take off again after the second bounce. I personally have also been on many, many flights in the past 11 years to Hamilton Island, and about four of those had to 'go around', but that was due to very low cloud and/or rain. As you can see from the image (and stats) above, that there was no cloud on that day at Hamilton Island.

This afternoon, I challenged Jetstar that the weather on Hamilton Island was perfect and the reason for the 'go around' could not have been weather related - I have yet to receive a reply.

Jetstar, next time a passenger asks you a question (especially when its a couple of the most influential in SocialMedia in Tourism & Travel - http://www.queenslandonline.net/news/socialmedia_tourism.php), can you please be honest with them, otherwise your integrity & profits will go the same way as that of Tiger.

Safety may not have been compromised, but what about integrity, loyalty and honesty? Very big values when it comes to choosing which airline to fly with.
