The Sky Went Dark...

I almost ran off the road, then I peered up into the low-level murk and saw an Emirates A380 going like the clappers heading west after taking off from YPPH this morning.

What was that all about?

I heard them saying they needed a high speed decent into Perth maybe medical departure in the wet looked cool.

Emirates

Or have they started the 380 service already?

Terminal must be finished.

Great options for locals to travel now!

Medical diversion?

Overhead an EK aeroplane discussing a medical diversion on area this morning as I was heading into the Pilbara. Advised by medlink to divert, dumping fuel etc. Possibly en route from east coast to the sandpit?

Might be your culprit.

Inbound.
