Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[ABC1]

OQK has just come out to play and parked up at our departure gate.

Oh well good they fixed it.

Currently on board QF2 diverted to Baku. Medical emergency followed by engine fault with no licensed engineer in Baku. Looking at 24-30hr delay while they fly out an engineer (and presumably replacement crew).

Good luck! Must have been a serious medical as diverting to Baku wouldn’t have been taken lightly over holding out for IST or DXB

We were about an hour and a half past Baku and turned around. I’m guessing Iranian airspace restrictions prevented a more sensible divert to DXB

I wish the passenger a very speedy recovery... this is of course not wanted event and no one would want that to happen to their family

Closer than Dubai, and better than traversing Afghanistan and Pakistan to get to New Delhi. If you’re there for 24 hours then the crew will get adequate rest. Of course the QF app has you underway already?! But looks like an 8:50 dept Tuesday for a 13:10 arrival Sydney on Wednesday.

Good luck..

A replacement plane from London?? Not sure how that would work. I was on the 2 a few years ago and an old bloke in premium went to the toilet and basically died in there. But we were bound for New Delhi. They tried for 30 minutes but couldn’t get him back. They strapped him onto to the bench seat in the J lounge. When we got to Singapore it was like a CSI investigation. Eventually for us lucky enough to be first we were let off. Then everyone else about 30 minutes later. But they interviewed the crew and pax around him for about 90 minutes.

Sadly he was an old fella coming to Australia by himself to see family.
