Kangaroo route delays
A few of the regulars from London have been cancelled or significantly delayed due weather.
BA9 and BA15 departures on Sunday evening were cancelled (they are the Tues am YSSY arrivals) All BA "long haul" out of Heathrow on Monday due out before 1700Z were cancelled. (For some Brits anything more than 2 hrs is 'long haul' , but I think intercontinental is a better defn). A few thousand refunds wont look good on the BA bottom line. Cathay, Qantas, Singapore and Virgin to Sydney have had no cancellations as yet but are all significantly delayed into and out of Heathrow. Currently: EGLL 021450Z 01007KT 340V050 1700 R09R/1200 SN BKN006 M00/M01 Q0993 and doesn't look like its getting any better soon. TAF (forecast): EGLL 021059Z 0212/0318 04013KT 9999 -SN BKN025 BECMG 0213/0216 1500 SN BKN006 PROB40 TEMPO 0215/0221 0200 +SN VV/// BECMG 0221/0224 19006KT -RASN BR BKN004 BECMG 0300/0303 6000 NSW SCT012 BECMG 0308/0311 9999 PROB30 TEMPO 0311/0318 5000 SHRASN BKN014 (TAF decoder here: http://aviationweather.gov/static/help/taf-decode.php) Delays are expected again later in the week. |

Qantas London Flights 2/2/09
Anyone know why the QF2 departure from LHR has been delayed from tonight (mon 2/2) until morning? Now before anyone gives the simple answer due to snow, I am aware of the snow as I can see it out my window, but cannot understand why QF10 is scheduled to leave on time but QF2 delayed.
PS all inbound flights have arrived, althought QF29 was about 3 hours late so that cannot be a major reason. |

Might have something to do with the weather.

QF2's delay is apparently due to a tech issue with the aircraft, just happened to coincide with some very heavy snowfalls!

Thanks was pretty certain it wasn't due to the snow.
