Scoot (TZ5) delay in OOL today

[Fabian Lee]

Noticed a delay in TZ5 departure from OOL today. Does anyone know what actually happened? Thank you.

Hi Fabian, Scoot have put all the info up on their Facebook page about the delay.

In a nutshell it was a cockpit computer warning and a fuel tank seal that engineers needed to replace. Took longer than expected to fix the fuel tank seal, aircraft eventually left just over 6 hours late.

It's good that they put a summary up on Facebook too, first time I've seen it done like this! :)

Brock, thanks for the info. Missed that on Facebook. Like the way Scoot handled the situation.

Did Scoot summarize the delay in any other mediums apart from Facebook ? . If they did , then fair enough . If the only delay explanation was via Facebook , I would have to say not good enough . It's all to easy these days to make the assumption that we are all Facebook tragics , but guess what ? .. I hate Facebook and won't go near it ..
