This morning the Gold Coast has rain and low cloud SCT/BKN005 depending on the moment, rain showers and vis down to 3-4000 and there are Air NZ, VA couple of JQ's holding all over the joint doing multiple approaches, none of which have landed, a Tiger having a go right now and will be next to Brisbane for sure, all for the want of a proper bit of infrastructure.
The follow on effect is there are several JQ and VA and others now getting holds and vectors out to sea to accomodate the diverting Goldies that have burnt up tonnes of fuel out off Kingscliff
Yep as I type this GoCat964 missed, and another Virgin waiting to have a go but decided against it and off to Brissy to beat the Tiger who will now be behind. Either cunning plan or low on "stay and play" fuel.
What a disgrace.
