United 839 and Fiji 911

United 839 is coming in from Nadi as 839D. Does anyone know the reason?

And also Fiji 911 is operated by a B763 today.

839 went into NAN to uplift more fuel, as Sydney had fog on its forecast for a while there. The fog element was removed from the forecast at around 2130z.

Todays FJ911/910 will be opperated by DQ-FJC a 763 too.

Also, DHL 727 should have just about landed in SYD from AKL as "Tasman 91" and EK412 from Dubai is running quite late at about 12:40pm for arrival and showing the AKL flight as being Cancelled.

About 2.30pm there is a Global Express due from the Maldives no rego.

you missed one bowrey,

VH-OEB operating QF108 from LAX was diverted into Brisbane this morning, Reason unknown but is now enroute to sydney now.

Possibly due to the fog that rolled in at 0654?

....and QF94 dropped by this morning.

Did QF94 do a splash and Dash or was there another reason for Visiting SYD?

He didn't deploy the floats, and he left the Q-Link fleet alone, so there must have been another reason.

UA839 via Honolulu tomorrow morning. So far due to depart HNL in about 30mins if not further delayed.

Hi All,

Why did 839 go via HNL?
Isn't this a direct LAX - SYD then onto MEL flight?
