Playback on ATC has them saying they had an engine issue.

Wow that’s pretty average investigative work by the behind the scene police teams. Some nations you would sue for millions for that!

So probably worth it for carry on only, but if you intend to take baggage, seems pointless as it comes up more expense as a classic reward via QF includes baggage. Seems more like a lure to get people into paying more for ‘pay with points’ add ons which are a poor use of points, but more...

Unlink your velocity FF account and see if you have issues next time.

I know virgin threatened to ban people and close FF accounts if they went ahead with chargebacks during the bankruptcy. AFP/ASIO won’t make it public information if you are on a watch list. On many occasions you are being watched by coverts. Have you ever had a disagreement with Virgin staff...

Envelope is increasing again. Not sure what the deciding factor is for the airlines to stop again, certainly any breach past 117E would seem probable. We shall see what the winds do overnight and tomorrow mornings update will be interesting.

QF A330s MEL-DPS would be the only real thing that would happen in that space.

Keep an eye on it. Has crept further West again, 119E seems to be the end point at this moment.

They tried 777s to Thailand didn’t last long. They just need more 737s flights to Bali in volume. PER twice a day, MEL 3 Daily, SYD/BNE 10-14 weekly.

Stupid move on VAs end as they are being left behind when it comes to DPS capacity, a high growth market.

I think Virgin’s charter 435pm from DPS wasn’t a passenger flight it seems, the ABC said the opposite, but seat map has very few seats taken and it looks like crewing only.

Virgin said on ABC the 435pm is a recovery flight. All airlines should have crews stuck in DPS so the return legs shouldn’t be an issue, can’t see why duty issues would be an issue, they have all had 3 days off in DPS.

Should be good to go now.

Jetstar are sticking to a no refunds policy, credit only. Virgin and Qantas offering refunds. Jetstar have always been hell bent on refunds.

Perhaps they don’t need it? I thought they did. Perhaps not.

Still no IASC application

Next few graphical updates will be interesting as the winds are shifting. Recovery will take a few days regardless. Virgin has a MAX stuck on the ground it seems so at least they will be able to get one plane load out when times permit.

Unbelievable

Zero chance. The advisory goes until 1330 local and the zone over the airport. Often even when the winds have started to shift, is a 24 hour period for that to occur. Rebooking DPS flights is quite problematic for the airlines as average LFs run the 90s. They would need to add extra flights...

Who knows. Just check the BOM Aviation Forecast site, gives you 18 hours of data.
