I read that last night on the Qantas website.
Can someone please explain how the volcano is effecting Qantas flights arriving into Melbourne from the West??
Other carriers are operating, flying in Victorian airspace at 18,000ft.

The MEL-SYD flight path is closer to the volcano, yet that is still open.

Also the United flight between SYD-MEL-SYD is cancelled today.
Perhaps due to fog in Melbourne?
QF94 was diverted to Sydney this morning too it seems.

Cheers
