Default QF93 Dec 4?

Anyone know whats happening / happened with QF93? Currently showing it will leave MEL at 2am on the 5th which is about 14 hours late. Just curious as have a family member on it / supposed to be on it.

Cheers,

Ben

Don't know what's wrong but there has been a A380 in the QF hangers all day at MEL.

Threw an engine apparently. I'm pretty sure I saw it push back so I'm not sure if it happened on start up. Was towed pretty quickly down to QF maintenance though and as been there, half inside a hangar ever since. VH-OQL

I think it's OQJ actually.

Cheers,

Can't be OQL, it's currently enroute back to MEL from LAX. OQJ hasn't flown since Thursday morning arriving in MEL.

QF94 OQL looks to be diverting into SYD right now. Low fuel perhaps? Been a tough couple of days for QF93 out of MEL. This will delay today's flight by the looks of it......unless they have OQJ repaired?

Possibly due to weather in Melbourne (which was stormy this morning), been a fair few flights that have had to return or divert over the last few days.
