Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[RSD]

Departure now delayed to 19.50.

At least they are trying

 

[I love to travel]

Departure now delayed to 19.50.

Are you allowed to check in?

QF836 MEL-DRW diverted to KNX on account of a disabled aircraft stuck on runway 11/29
Plane appears to still be in Kununurra
QF849 DRW-PER cancelled
QF113 DRW-SIN delayed (scheduled departure 1455 actual departure 1636)

I believe the usual flow is MEL-DRW-SIN so assume the PER aircraft has been hastily requisitioned to cover the (full) SIN service. Can’t back this assertion up with paperwork however

We were able to check in after QF updated the departure time to 19.50.

Enjoyed an excellent lunch at the MEL F lounge. Food and service were great.

We've boarded and now doors closed. JQ35 departed around 7pm. I overheard the CSM saying to a pax on boarding that we could divert to DRW if necessary. Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that!

Current DRW volcanic ash advisory:

RMK: VA TO FL530 MOV W FCST TO DISSIPATE WITHIN 18H. VA TO

Reportedly a rescue flight inbound from Perth. Some chat about a landing gear failure- unclear if the QF 737 or the aircraft stuck on the runway at DRW (which I haven’t been able to identify)
