QANTAS get blamed.


Runway debris delays flights at Brisbane Airport | News.com.au


FLIGHTS arriving at Brisbane Airport this morning were delayed or diverted while maintenance staff cleared debris from the airport's main runway.
Airport spokeswoman Leonie Vandeven said operations have recommenced at a "displaced threshold" after a departing Qantas A380 blew debris, including dirt and grass, onto the runway during a takeoff earlier this morning.
"The runway was closed temporarily while staff worked to clear the debris because of obvious safety concerns," she said.
"We are currently operating with a shorten runway and are getting back on track. Arrivals were the most affected."
