Bear When this hassle began, and Qantas punted the A388 out of Europe toward the Far East, it often returned back to London with some issue or other. They decided to continue to London in this case too.. At first I thought the Aussies were xenophobic, but I just read a comment over on another website that adds up. You know there are not a lot of airports that can handle this size of aircraft. Then what do you do with 470 passengers say in Dnyepetrovsk when the hotels only hold 200?
Then of course there is the $50k plus hotel bill!
Rock On!
