So much for Cityflyer!
QF450 (MEL-SYD) VH-OGC diverted to Williamtown after making 2 attempts to land around 6.30pm. Initial arrival time was 5.55pm.
Diverted to Williamtown after encountering severe turbulence and almost declaring a fuel emergency. The pilots were a little shaken by the experience and asked for 5 minutes time out from ATC to 'gather their thoughts'... fair enough too. After holding for 20 minutes they ended up in Williamtown. Only arrived back in Sydney at 10.50pm. Sounds like the pax had a major roller coaster ride. A 6 hour flight from MEL! Mother nature is always the boss...

Micheil's pic sums it up. I have arrived at work and the dust is beyond amazing. You can't see beyond 100 metres! Any car washing businesses will do well in the coming days thats for sure!
Someone from SYD airport said the BA15 arrived, as well as the VS from HKG and he said many of the domestic departures are getting away. Would the wind be causing most of the problem or the dust?
