I don't know though.
The usual procedure would look a bit more like this: Land BOH, drop pax, ask HQ nicely to organise a coach or two back to SOU for pax, depart BOH empty back to BFS maintaining the schedule. Half the compensation to pay and only the outbound pax severely inconvenienced. No idea in this instance though, Would love to know if they asked about a divert.
