Sydney Airport Message Board Forum Moderator, Kurt Ams, is reportedly stranded at Sydney's International Airport due to a broken down aircraft. Mr Ams was reportedly going on a dare-devil cheap-***** holiday to Europe.

QANTAS engineers are attending to the stricken China Eastern beast, but $15 food vouchers for a food court in Guangzhou have been handed out by airline staff to appease passengers during the extended delay.

"They've told us there is an engineering issue" Mr Ams was quoted as saying in a phone call. "I can see the QANTAS engineers working on the APU (anti-personnel unit), but so far they have had no luck, as the baggage handlers can still get near the plane".

"I'm worried that with this delay the Message Board will be running riot. I imagine it will be even worse over the next 3 weeks that I'm gone".

The delay is continuing.
