Yes, but Byron's comments make no sense. He says Qantas need to have an international diversion agreement because otherwise there is insufficient parking space for diversions. He also said that Qantas previously had an agreement (until 2014). Did the parking space suddenly decrease when Qantas discontinued the agreement? Has the parking space now suddenly increased now that Qantas have re-signed?
He has basically admitted that he pulled a stunt to force Qantas into resigning the agreement.
Qantas, in return, have obviously pulled a stunt to draw public attention to it.
Just little boys on both sides playing games with the movement of money. Nothing more.
I am more interested in why the aircraft didn't have fuel for MEL or BNE, given that presumably CBR was not a listed international alternate, and crap SYD WX.
