The difference between Qantas’s and Virgin’s approach has been stark. Virgin arrivals and departures at YSCB have continued, unabated, while Qantas has cancelled. The Qantas announcements in the YSCB terminal have stated that the cancellations are for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary exposure of staff to the smoke.
The atmosphere in YSCB is appalling. ****ty conditions would be nice, but the conditions are beyond ****ty. The worst smoke haze I’ve ever seen (and smelt and tasted).
Will be interesting to hear what the ACT’s chief medical officer says about the health effects of hanging around breathing this ****.
