EK406 MEL Diversion?
 

Sydneyairport.com has EK406 from DXB due at 6:35am this morning operated by a A340-500 A6-ERA perhaps diverting from DXB-MEL for some reason.

Tim,

Melbourne is fogged in so thats why SYD has these diversions. Also SQ227 9V-SPQ and QF94 B744 has diverted to Sydney. Adelaide got QF10 VH-OJL.

Must have been an Intl gate shortage as VH-QPI (QF42) was towed over to the pond and the pax bussed back over. Also, SQ227 and EK406 parked at the cargo gates.

Are the diversions the reason why the UA 747 is parked at the DHL building? I can't see if it is getting cargo loaded, but it is an unusual sight!

QF10 VH-OJL SIN-MEL arrived in ADL at 0615 and departed 3 hours later

EK345 was A6-ERA, SQ744 was SPQ and CX333 B-LAF. Asiana and QF22 were waiting ages for a bay cos there was no room left.

Emirates A340-500 only one worth posting because they dont come here anymore really.

Nice shot Tim. BTW, you might wanna correct the date on it (and the other ones in the jp.net queue from this morning).

Please refrain from quoting the whole previous post in your post, it is not necessary, thank you - mod

Oops, thanks Seth.
