There's no stupidity, nkand if 2193's estimate was post-curfew. They would have planned either a downwind landing on 34L, or an alternate.

Qlink has operational approval to land after curfew on 34L. However, only with a maximum tailwind of 20kt.

I have had a similar experience. ETA SY of 2315 local. Arrive in the circuit just as the southerly comes through and have to bug out to BK due tailwind of 25+ kt

Just a bit of bad luck for me, my crew and our PAX. Try getting taxis to go to BK after dark.

Had 2193's estimate for SY been before curfew...........
