Missing the point. WHY IS THERE NO CUSTOMES AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL ???
You knock the "yanks" even Victorville CA USA where the Qantas fleet is parked in the desert is an International airport.
AUS airports, freeways, ATC, ATTITUDE and infrastructure is simply 3rd world with a white face...............

Visa Obsessed Americans?

I can assure you the USA would have dealt with this in a much more efficient manner. We're no longer the Passportless insular hicks you seem to think we are Sir. And anyway, why didn't they they just fly over the boarder to Switzerland, surely they have customs there?

Love it!
As an Aussie, I am not at all surprised that Canberra wouldn't do better. Government here big on bureaucracy, not big on service.

and:
Next time you groan upon hearing the Captain say "we are going into a holding pattern before landing at Brisvegas", think about just how much traffic there is whizzing about around Heathrow etc.!!

I only became aware of the existence of this Video yesterday and, somewhat ironically, this as per the Link below occurred yesterday!

No, the Americans & those Aussies who know nothing about the situation are making it a catastrophe.

Have you ever operated into LHR? Entering the hold is standard. The STARs actually terminate with the hold & approach takes you out for the landing when they are ready.

No, you are missing the point. CBR does not have the international traffic to justify the cost of customs full time at the airport. The reasons for this are many, but city size, positioning & lack of commercial traffic are some. Do some research as I suggested & you may come to understand, rather than just mouthing off on here. Sure they could have full time customs there, just sitting around doing nothing at huge cost just in case an international aircraft turns up, but the taxpayer would not stand for it. The airport owner has been trying for a long time to attract international operators to go to CBR, but with little success to date. No US carrier wants to fly in there, so why should the Australian taxpayer foot the bill for the occasional one who decides to divert there?
