If you fly with some of the smaller cheaper airlines they dont have the aircraft to compensate for breakdowns and delays. Jetstar are obviously one of those, Skywest are another. Skywest have had a few instances of people being stranded for up to 5 days in Bali waiting for a part to arrive to fix their aircraft. Airlines the size of Qantas say, have the resources to be able to fly another aircraft in very quickly to cover for an incapacitated or held up elsewhere flight. Though, in saying that, I dont think I have taken a flight in the last few years on any airline where there hasnt been some change to the itinerary by the airline.
