EK405 diversion to YBAS
 
EK405 (MEL-SIN) B77W A6-ECW just turned around over Ayres Rock diverting to Alice with medical emergency. Tower controller at Alice has been recalled given that it's currently class G airspace...

Interesting note is that the main runway here (12/30) is closed for lighting work each night - interesting to see how this pans out . . . . .

Landed safely - tower controller was recalled and runway was re-opened, but they couldn't raise the RFF crews. Current ETD around 1230z

Hi Geoff

What are RFF crews ? Refuellers ?

Cheers

Bob
