QF 94 Cancelled today 11th April

[Anthony F]

QF 94 was showing as cancelled this morning on the Melbourne airport arrivals app. Does anyone know what happened to it?

[Radi K]

Diverted to HNL last night, not sure why.

[Jason H]

Maybe a maintenance issue as it is there for 18hours.

Due to VH-OQK being in HNL and it not being able to operate today's QF9, VH-OQL is stepping in, soon to operate QF6003 SYD-MEL.

[Sarah C]

Due medical........and then the crew hours would result in the extended stay

[Anthony F]

VH-OOL is currently over Mt Buller on it's way to Melbourne as QF6003.

Who pays for the diversion if it is a medical emergency? Lots of people staying overnight in hotels and also Qantas having to ferry another plane from Sydney and back again today.

I would of thought an airline would have insurance for this type of incident.

I would've thought so too Mark. And if they don't my money is on the airline paying the costs associated with the diversion, it's not exactly like they're going to send a bill for a couple of $100,000 to the ill person!!

You would think the airline would have taken such events into account in their budgetting.
