The latest BITRE performance data showed more than 80 per cent of all domestic flights across participating airlines departed and arrived on time last month, though this was still below long-term averages of 80.7 per cent on-time arrivals and 81.8 per cent on-time departures.
The Federal Court was told five Australian women left traumatised over strip-searches and physically invasive examinations at Doha in October 2020 have been “shut out of their trial despite having identified very serious questions” that should be tried at hearing.
While no Qantas services have been affected, six Jetstar flights on Friday morning were cancelled and two morning Virgin Australia services – to Brisbane and Melbourne – were pushed back to the afternoon due to potential impact from the ash cloud.
Heathrow, the largest of London’s six commercial airports, will remain closed until at least 11:59pm local time on Friday, causing havoc in the surrounding airspace. At least two Qantas flights in the air have been forced to divert, while others set to depart Heathrow today will also be affected.
The agreement, to last from March to July 2025, will see Virgin use a blend of A1 jet fuel and 30-40 per cent synthetic SAF made from waste and residue feedstocks, which the airline says is fully compatible with existing aircraft, fuelling infrastructure, and regulatory and safety requirements.
The service will operate four times per week on a 377-seat A330-300, including 12 business class and 365 economy seats. Batik Air, part of the Lion Air group, already operates a regular service from Melbourne to Denpasar.
