Watched Rex 472 'land' 16R 44 mins after curfew at Sydney tonight.
Both he and a virgin B737 conducted missed approaches just before 11pm curfew.
Given Virgin (ex Perth) diverted to Melbourne and Rex diverted to Orange but got halfway there and came back, do turboprops have a better chance of a curfew dispensation than jets?
Note ATC did not seem to be aware of any dispensation warning Rex 5 times that curfew was in operation and Penalties apply.

PS: Some great piloting out there tonight during the Sydney cold core 'hurricane' that had airfield winds to 57 kts and A380s going missed
