Couldn't agree more with
mates rates.. Darwin RWY11/29 was closed twice yesterday, Aprox 40 mins in the aro and about 3+ hours in the evening. We found out taxiing at Gove for Darwin. Both closures due contaminated RWY.
The TAF/TTF gave
no indication of this, just tempo holding for TS.
At least two aircraft diverted, a 73 from SYD went back to ASP, and a 71 from CNS diverted into GOV for fuel then back to CNS.
The point is that fuel minimalists push the carriage of min fuel on the belief that it's
legal with little regard to what might be sensible.
