In more on Friday 28 August, B738 VH-YWE had been sitting in BNE since 1936 hours on Wednesday 26 August but mo9st now be coming to the rescue of a sister B738.

It took off from BNE at 1837 hours empty as VA9902 for the extremely short flight to OOL where gate arrival was 1901 hours.

It's operating a very much delayed VA740, the 1405 hours early afternoon OOL-MEL that was not airborne until 1943 this evening. Gate arrival in the southern capital should be about 2149 hours, 319 minutes late. The small silver lining is passengers haven't been delayed overnight in Coolangatta.
