Exactly, as Flightaware states - to NHD [= Al Minhad Airbase], which is the military airfield all the RAAF flights (& NZAF) have been/are using for their transfers out of Kabul.
An interesting side effect of this crisis was watching ZNK transit the Middle East area yesterday en-route to Instanbul at 43000' and well clear of normal routes over Afghanistan. With ZNH just completing a DRW-DEL-DRW rotation this morning, and ZNJ due to do one today, Howard Springs is going to fill up rapidly. ZNK is due back in Darwin late tomorrow, ZNA from London on Monday, then apparently ZNI will be back from Al Minhad on Tuesday - with no destination available at present, it may be going to Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Hobart instead. Add in those additional repatriation flights announced on 26th by Qantas to Frankfurt (2), Vancouver and Johannesburg ... seems fortunate that ZNF is going to Brisbane rather than Darwin with its ? repatriation passengers from Cape Town. |

Seems more logical Denis, based on flight numbers. Thanks.

What's with QF 6016 from MEL-ANC nonstop? This is the second 787 to ANC in a few weeks.

Since that last flight [QF6043] came back via LAX as QF6016, presumably another ADF Charter, this time to bring the next rotation of US troops into Darwin ?
