I heard that we can expect 100km/h winds tomorrow in Sydney. Should spice things up a bit at the airport. Will be interesting if it eventuates, how bady it will delay aircraft.

Looks like NZ707 has definitely diverted to Brisbane. There are now delays of at least 60 minutes for departures, with some a/c having been waiting longer than this.

They must be hoping for a quick turn around because 991 is open for their departure to Brisbane already!!!

I'm no meterologist but it seems to have all cleared for now but according to BOM.gov.au there is more forming west of bathurst/lithgow which may or may not build up closer in to Sydney.

Default 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...
