QF655 11 Feb is returning to Mascot and did not proceed to Redcliffe. Major delays are expected.
I am so concerned that there will be people who are missing connection to MH126 and CX140, therefore missing Lunar New Year!
On Thursday 12 February, A333 VH-QPD arrived ex HKG as QF30 into MEL at 0757 hours, only seven minutes late, but its next tour, QF79, the scheduled 0925 hours midmorning MEL-NRT was expected to push back at 1123.
The QF1599/1598 MEL-ASP-MEL flight pair was cancelled today as a result of flooding in Alice Springs. 100mm of rain in 2 hours overnight into an already saturated Todd River catchment resulted in a moderate river flood and a brief early morning closure of the road through Heavitree Gap leading to the airport. Although the airport never formally closed, QF made an early call to cancel the inbound service prior to it departing MEL after airport management were unable to provide timely assurance that sufficient staff would be able to access the airport to provide ground services. The only other flights after were QF services from ADL and DRW which were held at those ports until that assurance was provided.
