Passengers aboard a Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Launceston have been returned to the airport after the pilot noticed a problem with the hydraulics mid-air.
A Jetstar spokesman said the pilot on the A320 noticed an issue and decided to return to Melbourne Airport to the operator's main engineering facility for inspection and repairs.
