Wild Brisbane Weather - Diversions
 

Good Evening All,

Very severe storms are currently lashing Brisbane Airport and Brisbane's Bay areas. I understand a number of aircraft have diverted although alas, information is very limited. Can anyone list aircraft/flights that have diverted to other ports? I understand the PX 757 has diverted to an unknown port..

I live not too far West of Brisbane and there's a number of aircraft in a holing pattern above - fuel must be becoming an issue?

There's more storms forming to my SW, so it appears everyone is in for a long night!

Cheers

PS: have received about 200mm of rain here since 9am yesterday

A great night to be indoors! Looks rather nasty.:mad:

QF542 SYD-BNE has diverted to Tamworth (operated by a 737-400) - would have made alot of noise upon landing in a place that is used to seeing Q300/400s :eek:

Could the runway at Tamworth take a 767?

Hey Mr Bindon, that weather radar here is nuts. Havent ever seen the black before.

More information seems to be flowing through now...

PX5 POM-BNE diverted to Sydney as did SQ245 SIN-BNE.

Cheers

PS - I'm not David Bindon Mr Bowrey ;)

Haha my bad. Your name is David B, talking about Brissie so i "assumed". Note to self, never assume;) Cheers mate

Very bad indeed, at it's peak the winds and rain were nearly cyclonic. It has moved out to sea now but there are still aircraft diverting around weather as I type. We have only just had our power restored after a blackout. More storms predicted for Saturday night with more intensity and high winds we are really coping it here.
