“Incident At International” SYD Fri 15/6/18

[jamesatfish]

I’m currently in the QF Business lounge in Sydney, they’re making announcements that all flights ex-Sydney this morning will have nil catering due to an “incident at International” (their words).

Anyone know more?

Anyone know more?

Is there only one catering provider?

Nothing yet on website, twitter, tv/radio. Interesting, what’s to unfold?

Does anyone watch Curb Your Enthusiasm?

there has been a 'disturbance in the kitchen'

 

[jamesatfish]

It’s odd indeed, no obvious signs of any issues and no delays at international transfer as far as I can tell.

Will see whether my flight has any catering issues - though it’s a Q400 to CBR so there’s not really any catering anyway.

At least they are telling pax before the flight leaves (i hope in the terminal not just the lounge) unlike VA did in VA LAX Catering Debacle November 2017

Apparently it's a chemical spill in an aircraft. That plane has been sealed off... Reported on Sunrise news...

Emergency services are at the scene.

Someone dropped their cocaine?

Reminds me of the time one of our staff was asked by R&D to take a baggie of harmless chemical product from SYD-AKL but it was white powder. Yeah, nah.

My sources are telling me a different issue is the reasons for no catering and unrelated to the posted links above.

 

[Ansett]

And they would be? lol

I cant see how a white substance on an AA aircraft would stop all catering.
Though after what we got yesterday flying to MEL it might have been good if it happened yesterday.

In Cargo Hold - perhaps the emergency HAZMAT response stopped catering services from loading other aircraft?

If so, that’s a bit rough if Qantas are using the chemical discovery issue (something genuinely out of their hands) to cover up a different failing.

As has been said however, at least they let people know and suggested they take food / coffee from the lounge rather than having them find out on the aircraft.

Those bags of sherbet are pretty dangerous....

Someone lost their Jazz Salt.

that's a definite reason for a disturbance in the kitchen.
