After the missed approach, the CX crew declared that they did not have enough fuel for another approach and made a 180 turn to the opposite direction RWY07 for a visual approach.
That left ATC had little room to recover the situation.
Un-frikken-believable
Is that was happened? Surely, a widebody Airliner at a regular destination (not on a diversion) with a shyteload of (enroute)-alternates around should
never end up in a situation like that.
Now, if that had happened to Hong Kong Airlines, though, then the media and also this forum would be in high gear again
Glad it had a lucky outcome.
