QF9 Diverts to Delhi..Update?
Probably RR as all the aircraft configured for the Kangaroo route are Rollers. The GE aircraft are in Pacific config but they are occasionally used on the Kangaroo route when unservicabilities force a change of aircraft.
Come on people, the captain is charged with the responsibility, along with his/her crew, of deciding the best thing to do when it goes pear shaped.
It seems that all persons an board were safely on the ground after this problem. Is there a better outcome?

Hey Chicken Lips,
Just got home from the Gabba and didn't recognise either of those two!

We generally track a long way north of Mumbai both north and south bound to Europe and quite close to Delhi almost every time. It is therefore a natural diversion airport, and is used a few times a year by the Qantas 400's.

FWIW ...
Memory serves ... QF track to Europe
L750, N644 are the main two ... (along with everybody else)
+ northbound to Uzbekistan (Samarkand etc) generally in N winter, and a more southern route that clips Iran, going over Ashkabaat.

Nearly, Skyscanner, being pedantic it's actually G792 (and another airway, B466, overlays it).
Check this link out (specifically page ENR 6-2.1):

And more info on Afghan airports, even approach plates (!), can be found here: http://www.motca.gov.af/index.htm
Might be just the thing to have in the back pocket one dark Afghan night...
You can find absolutely anything in cyberspace!
