On Thursday 29 June it was a chilly -1.1 degrees in Canberra at 0820 hours and fog had been forecast. A couple of QF aircraft were holding on approach to CBR.
VA628, the 0705 hours SYD - CBR took off at 0806 (ATR72 VH-VPI) and is forecast to arrive an hour late at 0905 hours. It went into a hold southeast of Goulburn NSW at about 0837, but the arrival time may become later if diversion is not required.
The 0700 hours MEL - CBR VA257 (B738 VH-YFK) was in the sky at 0809 and is nominally predicted to be at its CBR airport gate at 0903, 58 minutes behind the eight ball.
VA1209 (0720 hours CBR - BNE managed to take off at 0847, meaning suggested arrival at 1005 hours, 65 minutes late for B738 VH-YFP.
VA633 (0805 hours CBR - SYD, ATR72 VH-FVQ) took off at 0852.
UPDATE: VA257 had a missed approach into CBR at 0902 hours.
VA632, the scheduled 0905 hours arrival in CBR from SYD has been cancelled.
The 0620 hours CBR - MEL VA252 must not have managed to depart prior to the fog becoming heavier, as B738 VH-YFG took off at 0941, so it is about three hours late.
VA257 landed at 0946 hours in CBR.
