Appears to be quite a spacious ( 2 aircraft)apron at PBO compared to some Pilbara regionals. WLP is very tight by comparison, still two aircraft , upper limit is the F-100. No aircraft tugs up here to disengage them, of course.
I'm up here at the moment, was changed to a Friday departure earlier in the week, instead of my usual Thursday--happy about that, as the incident is still impacting movements, currently running 5.5 hrs behind. Anyone care to comment on the rumour circulating that a third aircraft was despatched from PER to try to clear passengers, arrived and found the apron entrance blocked? if so, poor planning, could have bussed passengers to OCM. Wednesday is PBO's busiest, most aircraft full.
