News reports did not reflect my experience, arriving DRW about 0030.
On arrival on blox, the captain advised that there was a security issue and once arrangments were in place we'd be able to disembark.
We sat on the aircraft for perhaps 10 minutes before stairs were driven to the aircraft, pax disembarked and were marshalled east along the new covered walk-way, to go landside down near the tower, where busses took us to Darwin Airport Resort.
Luggage was brought to the resort, one grabbed one's bag, hailed a cab, and gone. I reckon the baggage claim seemed quicker than from the terminal!
No friends allowed into airport precinct to collect pax. Either one hailed a cab, or walked.
