Exactly the situation last night - 30min airborne delays around 8pm because they were running RW27 only when the wind was around 15kts from the north west. But hey, it’s world’s best practice in Australia, right?
On another note... anyone on here have any info why MEL is the only airport in Aus that seems to change their ATIS every 5-10min most days?
