From when I arrived at about 1400 it was single runway ops for all except Qantas 73, Singapore 222 and both Uniteds.
Everyone else used 25, including Etihad! |

Very interesting Ethiad take off today. Seems to really swing from side to side. Wouldn't have liked to be on board.
QF A380 was a beautiful site and was up very quickly. |

My flight from Brisbane to Sydney was delayed about and hour and a half. Arrived into Sydney at 11pm after about 20-25 mins holding north of Sydney and landing on 25. Pilot informed us that single runway ops causing delays etc and also a disabled or something aircraft don't know if it was on the runway does anyone know?

My flight from Melbourne to Sydney last night (27 Sep) was also delayed by about 1 hour 45 minutes for the same reason - single runway ops due to heavy winds. We had to hold and circle for 20-25 minutes just before descent also.
When I arrived in Sydney, all the departure/arrival boards were showing similar delays for a number of flights.

It taxied to Tango 6 holding point and had to be towed back to gate 4 (I think) for a couple of hours to fix (the pax stayed on board) and then back to Tango 6 again for departure. It then broke down again briefly but inpinging on 34L so China Southern had to go around and for sure some other craft were inconvenienced as well. It was a farce really. What's the go with these 330's? Is it just me or do these things have reliability issues? |

Where do they receive the majority of their maintenance, in Australia or overseas?

Thanks Mike for the info. From what i heard (was trying to watch ncis!!) it sounded like he was delayed departing sydney initially from the single rwy ops and also an issue with a jq flight at the same time, hence late into brisbane and back to sydney.
I was expecting a very bumpy ride back down into sydney but it was surprisingly a lot smoother than everyone made out. That and the landing was very nicely done!
