NH880 departure 28AUG

[James R]

Good evening,

The QF25 this evening departed 16R and followed what looks like a standard DEENA 7 departure, with an eventual right turn up over the inner west / western suburbs. Minutes later the NH880 followed the same track but instead turned left, looping back around and crossing the coast around Little Bay then northward between YSSY and the city.

Is this a non-standard track for 16R departure and if so, any reason why it would have travelled as such? The later CX and others took the usual track.

Cheers.
