My sauce also informs me that QF64 is expected to divert to PGUM, and that they are also making pea soup or was that the airport resembled pea soup?

Spotters in remote locations be on the look out for some unusual aircraft in your area...
you must be on the Goodes stuff...

Hi guys,

I heard Asiana call for priority clearance into Melbourne as they were getting lower than normal ops on fuel.

I see that UA managed to handle the delay quite well, both flights only leaving a hour or two late rather than being totally cancelled.

Did the flights in Melbourne have gates or where they all on remote stands?

Dave

They were all over the place EK A345 was parked on Alpha for about an hour an a half United B744 came into Bay 8, Air Mauritius A343 came into bay 4, Singapore A380 went to bay 11, British Airways I wasnt sure where that was hiding only seen it depart, Asiana ended up on the cargo ramp along with two QF B744's a SQ B744 and a Malaysia B772, Korean Air ended up on the cargo ramp Garuda went to bay F12.

How come no-one gets excited when Brisbane has fog and there are diversions? Oh, that's right..... Sydney already gets Qantas 747's and A330's!!!



Anyway, why all the fog lately?
