Network wide IT outage or CBR specific?Update to this at 1555
Guests have now been asked to go to check-in as this flight is cancelled due to an IT outage.
I'm unable to say which ... I heard from airport security folks that the IT issues were there since morning, pax were unable to check in to flights and VA ground staff were manually processing pax and that was causing delays.Network wide IT outage or CBR specific?
Update to this.
At 1523, replacement Captain and FA arrived with their gear at Gate 10. They were were warmly welcomed by the pax at Gate 10. There were "whooing", "clapping", "yelling heyyyy" for the replacement Captain & his FA.Pax were genuinely happy to see them. Pax at the shops near Gate 10 also joined in the jeering
Although not travelling today (sadly), I joined in the mini-celebrations and I clapped too
At 1525, the previous Captain & FA exited the aircraft and Gate 10. There were no jeering for them sadly!Poor things

Looks like the IT issues still haven't been rectified.Apparently the IT issues since this AM with CBR airport IT (assume with Swisssport) have affected VA, Rex and JQ.
JQ did have delays yesterday. They were handing out vouchers to delayed pax.
I’ll be at CBR today as well. Will ask around … the security folks are usually the first to hear about things …Looks like the IT issues still haven't been rectified.
This morning's CBR departures are delayed citing systems being down or the airport experiencing some 'challenges.'
Only minor issues at VA today. There isn't as big a queue anywhere near the VA counters as yesterday. Only 2 VA flights delayed so far - VA1217 & VA274.I’ll be at CBR today as well. Will ask around … the security folks are usually the first to hear about things …
That 737 pictured should sue 9 news for defamation. It’s worked well for others in the media recently.That’s a nice E190 landing in that 9 News Footage. They are hopeless.
LATAM2.0?VA455 returned to Brisbane after a cabin pressure issue last night. Aircraft involved was a wet-leased Airnorth E190 (VH-UYR)

You must be joking. Qantas has had their fair share of pressurisation issues over the years.LATAM2.0?
Part of the cost/risk analysis of taking a carrier (JQ/VA/ZL) over Qantas for price.
Well this was the first incidence of any national carrier that I've heard about since LATAM. Others being UNITED but that did not occur in Australian territory (at least I do not think so)You must be joking. Qantas has had their fair share of pressurisation issues over the years.
Latam 1.0 wasn't even a pressurisation issue!Well this was the first incidence of any national carrier that I've heard about since LATAM. Others being UNITED but that did not occur in Australian territory (at least I do not think so)
Well they did need to "divert" "back" to the "original point of takeoff" with the implication that there would be delays and hundreds of pissed off customers and hotel/meal vouchers (not to mention a bad track record). If anything warrants diverting back to the airport it must be serious enough warrant diverting back to the airport.Latam 1.0 wasn't even a pressurisation issue!
Here are just a handful of Qantas examples over the last few years:Well this was the first incidence of any national carrier that I've heard about since LATAM. Others being UNITED but that did not occur in Australian territory (at least I do not think so)
This is a cost of doing business and is baked into the cost of running an airline. They know things like these will happen once every so often so obviously price things accordingly. This is no different to a supermarket having to throw away expired milk or rotten fruit. It’s a cost of doing business and is baked into the cost of items you buy.t." I felt bad for the financial department amount of hotel vouchers and meal vouchers they have to give to the passengers. Never mind probably comes out of our airfare anyways
If you’re concerned about not visiting Darwin because of a single flight delay/cancellation then it’s worth noting that VAs evening flight has had issues once in the last few months.which is why I have never been to Perth or Darwin even though it's always been on my bucketlist places to travel to).
