It is a NZ freighter flight. Operated by Atlas Air.
Arrived in MEL at about 14:00 today. Not sure why its going to SYD as its due to go MEL-PVG? |

It's the Atlas freighter.
You've got it backward, mate. It arrives ex Melbourne then departs for Shanghai. It's a regular twice weekly freight service and normally flies AKL-MEL-PVG-GYD-FRA-ORD-HNL-AKL. No idea why it's stopping off at SYD tonight but it is showing on NZ's web site with ETA at SYD of 2130, ETD 0130 tomorrow. Sorry, I missed the other reply while I was writing this. |

A/c is N418MC and is currently at FL170 descending into SYD.
Acars message shows MEL-PVG so bit of a mystery! |

The mystery deepens!! sighted this flight overhead St Clair (near Penrith) about 5 mins ago and it was on the SYD-Katoomba track so it is not going to Pudong.
Still NZ6882 on the radio, so maybe heading for Singapore or Bangkok. On PlanePlotter the a/c is just overhead Bathurst. No routing info on the acars messages. |

This was the ACARS I received so she is heading for Pudong, Shanghai.

Thanks Grahame; I didn't receive that acars message.
Usually the China bound a/c (as well as Taipei, Vietnam, Japan etc) all track via Richmond then Walgett then close to Cairns so this is a very long way round. Can't always trust these acars messages as in my earlier post last night the acars message showed YMML-ZSPD but turned up at SYD. I'll check the acars logs for the other main centres tomorrow to see who else tracked this flight. |
