WA or SA? I thought the map showed it over SA?
I think unless it was shutdown Phillip, then potentially it wasn't an "emergency" per say. Therefore it had to wait until curfew finished.
Had it been an emergency, then they wouldn't have flown to Sydney.
Who knows why there was still a delay until landing though. Maybe still above max landing weight? I don't have the regs in front of me, but I believe an aircraft is only permitted to dump fuel in an emergency. Therefore it comes back to the point above.
