16R is closed. Videos of some lunatic ranting about Allah from inside the cabin on social media. QF1 stuck at the gate. Police riot vehicles appear to be running around the airport. Just another day in paradise.
Almost identical thing happened over 5 years ago in Melbourne, same airline, and same bomb threat. Male was given a 12 year prison term.

There’s a 15 kt southerly
So, 99% of a/c are using 16L whilst 25 has been used for a 747 and a A380….
why can’t they use 25 for ALL departures and 16L for ALL arrivals at the same time?
they've cancelled a truck load of services due to the single runway movement rate….
the mind boggles…..

It has to be said, this was very poorly handled by AFP and SY airport corporation. 4hrs to remove the person in question effectively stopping operations into Sydney airport at a peak period. Twitter post at the time it was clear he was a nutter with his rambling the probability of a device is minimal if any AFP should have just entered the aircraft but I guess it would of taken 4hrs for the approval of stairs to be towed on A and then finding swissport staff.
SY airport should have been able to manage a regular flow, it took them 5hrs to NOTAM the use of A5 could have NOTAM RWY closed past B8 turbo props and NB jets could have maintained their schedule instead of the displacement of thousands of ppl.

Fair enough. AFP alone handled it poorly. 4hrs to remove someone really?!
Would it be worth considering the UK procedure under which security threats are sent to Stansted (to avoid disrupting LHR & LGW) where there is suitable remote parking and, I'm told, an on-call "welcoming committee" should the situation require?

Nope, not angry. Just a sky watcher curious at how quickly they got back.
Normally AsA ATC would be requested to provide a representative to the Emergency Operations Centre to act as a Liaison Officer. Perhaps no-one was available due to Operational Requirements or perhaps the person available didn't have any ATC experience, or their input dismissed or overruled by the NSW Police.
Exclusion zones are published and scenarios would've been workshopped by all agencies, especially ATC and Sydney Airport based on the wind / weather. RWY 16L for ARR, RWY 25 for DEP seemed an obvious option but perhaps the 40 minute recall for RWY 07/25 was a factor.
