Why is YPLM automatically considered by many as nearest suitable? It's isolated, limited RFF, limited hospital facilities, limited ATC, etc They weren't flying a Cessna
Qantas also weren't flying a Cessna, but it didn't stop them going to YPLM after an incident.
Same aircraft type (A330) and in the same area as well.
