QF176 into BNE diverted

[Simon Hoby]

Hello all.

I noticed this morning that QF176 that had been due into BNE this morning at 0605hrs was either delayed or diverted, depending on which site you check.

Anyone know where it is and what's going on? At present the QF site says it's delayed and now due at 0930hrs but bne.com.au just says "diverted".

Looks like there was fog forcast this morning during their arrival period so diverted to pick up fuel.

EDIT: Looks like it went to SYD, arrived at 0711 and departed at 0830

It wasn't just forecast. Between 0550 and 0700 vis was down to 0100m at times in heavy fog.
