My partner who was supposed to travel Townsville - Brisbane on QF977 is now travelling via Mount Isa. Apparently to pick up stranded passengers.
A quick check of flight radar shows VH-VXB over Richmond heading to Mount Isa. ETA Brisbane 2335 hours. Was supposed to be 2125 hours.
While he was excited about re-routing, many others weren't!
I travel the BNE-TSV sectors often but have never seen this before!
