This evening's Brisbane storm is making things tough for the pilots.

VA1118 had a go at 01L, then tried 19L...

While SQ265 tried 01L before going around to try 19R.

Plenty more holding and hoping the storm passes quickly.

Looks like a Qatar 777 is the next contestant on 19L.

One little storm creates havoc. Miss brissy is on jq825 bne-syd, last flight (and delayed) to syd, should arr curfew -5min (subject to atc delays )
Apparently many cancellations, she said that the jq information desk was overwhelmed.

A line of storms going through bne, again. Pilots making a variety of decisions, some go east, some go west.

Weather around CNS this morning causing a few delays.

JQ888, already running a few hours late, took the long way around from BNE to MKY the other night:

Other departures from BNE were also heading south first. I wonder if a certain section of airspace was closed.

NZ261 (ADL-CHC) on 22 December also took an odd flight path. Flight took an hour longer than usual.

The inbound aircraft went a similar way, so presumably there was an MEL requiring them to remain closer than usual to an airport at all times.

In fairness it looks like there's 4 other aircraft that have had a crack with no luck?

Would be treated to some cracking views from a window seat!

My 6 year old nephew certainly appreciates FR24 at Christmas time. Eagerly follows the progress of SANTA1 across the screen from the North Pole down to NZ and then when its time for bed, he's heading to Australia.

Oh only just saw these posts. Yes, it was really heavy set in rain this morning up here… very low visibility all round. Not surprised there was a few go-rounds.
