Fog in YSSY this morning. Expect diversions

[Grant Smith]

I have it on good authority that due to low visability (otherwise known as fog) in YSSY, diversions are expected.

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...

[Alex Lui]

Diversions are active... Though many flights are showing late arrival times...
SQ221 - MEL
QF1 - MEL
EK412 - MEL
BA9 - MEL
UA839 - MEL
MK942 - MEL

Virgin Atlantic - BNE
QF74 - BNE
QF12 - BNE

Hopefully someone will update if required. MH141 just left Sydney I am led to believe, delayed from last night.

Alex.

Malaysian B747 is currently parked at Dom-6, and doesn't look like going anywhere soon.

Fog is slowly lifting, arrivals and departures virtually normal now.

There were no missed approaches. All who attempted got in.

CX 111 was the first arrival at YSSY.

DJ801 just did a missed approach off Rwy 34L...vis seems OK, so not sure of the reason.

[Nigel C]

DJ801 just made another missed approach.

Eastern 2161 just did one off Rwy 34R.

[Nigel C]

More missed approaches due to a low fog just in the approach to 34L/R. It just won't go away!
