There was a notable incident a few years ago involving QF and Virgin B737s that diverted to Mildura due unforecast fog in Adelaide. Unfortunately Mildura was just as bad. Thanks BOM ! That it didn’t result in a hull lose was due to the reliability of the GPS approach. I suspect it is the main reason that ILS is even being contemplated. And if it does go ahead CAT I wont do it . On the day the fog was below CAT I minima. If your going to do it , do it properly.
