Melbourne Air Traffic Control
Good to see common sense prevailing at Melbourne or maybe economic imperative at play. The opening of taxiway Foxtrot was long overdue and despite the winds kept the delays to a minimum.

Gotta love Melbourne, 75 mins holding this afternoon, and landed and the place was a ghost town, everyone in the hold! Wind 340/6 and CAVOK.
They should just build a functional airport further out and shut down this basketcase of a so called International airport at Tullamarine, Victoria 3 useable runways for decent sized jets, and SE QLD, soon 5 decent usable runways across 4 airports, with far less population.

Landed there last night, 25 minutes holding with 1000m in FU, RWY 27 closed for works, wind 290/18 and they were using R16 with a tailwind as the into wind ILS was U/S for some taxiway works. They reopened 27 just as we departed at 0000 after the peak :-(

I thought they did a bloody good job keeping everyone safe yesterday evening (wed) in the massive storms with the wind changing constantly through all degrees of the compass.
