Default DAL16 cancelled today
DL16 Los Angeles
Flt Cancelled 18/9/2009
9:25am 18/9/2009
9:25am G01 Cancelled

I arrived on QFA442 from MEL on A332 around 420pm and saw the 777 parked at M5...


Any ideas as to the reason for cancelled flight?

maybe relates to yesterdays diversion to BNE ?

cheers

It was parked over the near old control tower all day. I couldn't see any activity around it so it might have been a flow on effect from yesterday.

Delta is actually 6 times a week between Sep 6 and Dec 6 due to "maintenance"

I saw Delta at the remote stand at about 9.30am Friday as i was driving past and thought it to be odd, and then again it was still there around 4am this morning when driving past. Interestingly, N704DK arrived as DL17 but N703DN departed today as DL18.

I presume then that N704DK will spend the night tonight??

_Been alot of talk on "airliners" about them ferrying the aircraft used on the Sydney run to LHR to be sprayed for bugs maybe they are getting it done in Sydney now hence the layover._________________

Are you sure its DN because airframes.org as well as PP and 16right have it as DK?

Does that then mean that N704DN/DK will depart tomorrow morning as 16 and the arriving 17 will overnight again? Tomorrows DAL17 will be N701DN

No worries, i was looking at their list of flights here and from what it looks like that is one of a few DK registered aircraft instead of DN for some reason.

Here is a link i found re the spraying. Never heard of this happening before. Do other airlines have to do this and where does this happen usually?
