Diverting to... Brisbane.

VA diversion of a LST-BNE flight. To CBR.


I guess medical issue unless there is severe wx around BNE.

 

[Scarlett]

They’ve already flight planned to continue to BNE after 40 mins on the ground in CBR, so yeah I guess they need to get someone off quickly then continue on their way.

Their approach wasn’t helped by a change of runways.

Severe thunderstorm now

 

[RB001]

All of the aircraft shown have destination: SYD.
Some have waited a bit longer than others...

 

[Scarlett]

Guess they had to wait for that line of storms to clear. Looks like normal dep/arr now.

Diverted to PEN instead of KUL?

On final into Penang now - looks like a lot of holds around SIN at the moment - maybe they couldn't stick around any more.

Not mel. Maybe ATC shortages.

EK435 and QR899 didn't have to detour earlier

 

[MEL_Traveller]

Not mel. Maybe ATC shortages.

I wonder why? As pointed out, the other flights leaving BNE went straight out, only the CI went south. SQ and VietJet are others, alongside EK and QR going directly north.

 

[jb747]

At a guess, ATC manning issues, resulting in closure of some airspace. Or, as an alternative, they were lost.

Were the other flights mentioned, earlier, or at the same time?

all roughly the same time… sort of within an hour? After AIRwin’s post I went on to have a look and saw the other two flights. So it was at least 4 aircraft straight out north, and just the CI that went south!
