Still a few a/c holding outside Sydney and few a/c have already left BNE & MEL and approaching SYD.

SQ221 went to MEL

[Debra Rettie]

Thought it was awfully quiet this morning when I woke up and then saw the heavy fog. It was already lifting when I left for work as when driving Stanmore saw a Qantas 747 fly over

[Gerard M]

It looks like most of them have headed back here except for BA15 and QF320. As a result BA16 and QF319 this afternoon have been canceled.

The roar of a go-around woke me just in 6am this morning. Just looked in webtrack http://syd.webtrak-lochard.com/template/index.html to see what it was - Etihad it seems. Looked at a few tracks between 5am and after 6am and there were a whole heap of go around tracks.

The BA 777 has just called up for airways clearance at BNE for SIN.

Speedbird 9151 is the callsign.

[Steve Jones]

Did the BA 777 go tech or were loads so light that they merged the two flights? A rather expensive diversion exercise to fly out empty back to LHR (presumably), though I guess they might pick up stranded pax in SIN?
