Thunderstorms disrupting normal ops I would say. It's been quite active.
Sydney airport is one of the most pathetic airports on the planet , it’s time the government takes back control of all airports and builds 3rd and fourth runways. The fuel wasted would far outweigh any cost of infrastructure but because the private owners don’t bear the brunt of wasted resources they think it’s not their problem .

So what is so different about TS disrupting Sydney this time to any other time. It was the same on Friday. Has there been a change in policy on dispo's and thunderstorms?
Wha do you mean by ‘dispo’s’? I understand it’s dispensations but a dispensation for what? And when you say 20 aircraft waiting to leave , is that has happened or what will happen tonight? Ie in 13 hours time.

Lotta fuel in a couple of billion dollars.

Sydney ATC can’t handle cells. The recovery attempts are beyond laughable. You need to see how the NYC metro airports work in the event of a cell passing across. What follows is clear efficiency and incredible spacing to get the place moving. It’s not the controllers fault, they are dealing with a failed system after all, with a operator in complete denial in that they operate some poverty system.

From looking at flightradar the last landing was CX139 from Canberra around midnight. The last departure was around 1am, one of the ME3 A380s I think. He means that the 20 aircraft were waiting at 16R for an well over an hour while all arrivals landed on 34L.
