2318Z: SPECI YMIA 172318Z 22004KT 9999 BKN002 SCT041 08/06 Q1019 RMK RF00.0/000.0
This should have been passed to the arriving aircraft. Do we know what time the SPECI was received by the relevant controller. With ETAs 14 and 24 mins later, would it have made any difference - could the crews have gone anywhere else? Maybe QF could as they had more fuel.
