Diversions due to fog YSSY today
Some spotters will get lucky today, as fog is causing diversions this morning in Sydney. RVR 34L is below 500m.
So far confirmed (overheard on the scanner) that: -MEL will get the A380 as SQ221 is diverting. -QF12 and UA839 are not taking chances and are heading for BNE. -Have also heard QF6 requesting climb to FL320 so possibly heading for MEL? -EK412 and TG993 are holding and thinking. May be more as it's only after 5am. Last edited by Krzysztof M; 15th May 2008 at 05:46 AM.

my QF735 to ADE at 07.10 has not yet been cancelled, so should be away in 25 minutes
all QF flights to CBR cancelled, as well as some to BNE & MEL (must ensuing planes are leaving 100% full) Banjo

Yep. SQ221 should be landing right about now in Melbourne. Leaves at 7.45am for an arrival into Sydney a little after 9am. Good thing they have 4 flights today where most aircraft can be interchangeable.
CX111 is due into Sydney at 9.23am. It has diverted to Melbourne and arrives at about 7.10am. EK412 is due into Sydney at 8.46am. It has diverted to Melbourne as well. Now question... Does Melbourne have the gates to accommodate the influx of extra flights? Alex.

The view (or lack of it) at the airport at the moment is amasing. I can't see the runway so who knows who is trying to land. A couple of cancellations as well - the UA863 from SFO and the QF42 (Manila?). Most look like they are due to land about 8:30-9am, when the fog is due to lift.
The ATC people would be having fun this morning!
