Melbourne Diversions - 28th Sep

Oliver Gigacz · #1 28th September 2011, 04:18 PM

Due to the extreme weather today DJ1590 (NTL-MEL) has diverted, unsure to where though.

A few other flights are looking to divert to ADL or CBR.

Now i know why on another board ADL got a Pacific Blue diversion.

Thank You Oliver.

VUM was medical into ADL.

Most went to CBR

QF 767 ended up in AVV

1590 went CBR Oliver, as did a Tiger flight.

2 ANZ's were popping about for a bit- I think they made it to MEL in the end, a JQ went back to Tasmania, and as you say most went to CBR.

Awesome to be able to hear liveatc nowadays with ops and dispatch interfaced into the feed and watch whats happening in real time

An A380 is operating SYD/MEL today to clear the backlog.

Anyone know what gates they would be using? Are the domestic terminals in SYD and MEL A380 capable?

Wouldn't have thought so Sarah... perhaps parking at international and putting the big 'D' stickers on boarding passes for Customs etc? Which flights are A380 on?

Where on the net is the live atc guys?

Cheers

Hey guys.

There's currently a 744 (OEF) as QF6018 en-route from Melbourne to Sydney on flightradar24. Is it a regular empty transfer or clearing the backlog?

Noticed earlier (before I was aware there were any disruptions) another 744 operating Syd to Mel.

Thanks Jayden

How cool is it!

Just heard a "Qantas 7334" - anyone know what that is? Not one of their usual flight number series (ie neither scheduled nor ferry)?
