No Fuel at Perth Airport (YPPH/PER)

Apparently they have plenty of fuel but for some reason the delivery pressure isn't enough to refuel aircraft.

They've had people working on it since midnight.

Harley Reid is supposed to be the answer to everything over there, get him on to it.

Fuel NOTAM issued for GET. No Jet A1 available for aircraft departing YPPH heading Northbound. No more diversions from YPPH.

Major international airlines must just shake their heads at this country. They pay exorbitantly for everything on a global scale yet you divert because they can't repair the fuel system in Perth and you can't land at Brisbane because of relatively light fog.

Hopefully GT will inform us of the cause, shortly.

Of course!

If GT is on the case, it will be all under control.

Climate change strikes again. Or is this one Covid? Or perhaps because of Putin?

A couple of 380s at Busso would be good for the council's coffers. Oh wait, front coming through shortly...

If only. I recently paid $700 to find out where the Telstra lines were to put in a driveway crossing, we then dig and cut some other Telstra lines, cost me a bit over $2000 to have them repaired.

Did you use DBYD or some other third-party company? I've used DBYD many times before and never once been charged for it.

I can't believe that Perth has no contingency plan nor what it appears a Risk Management Plan. This is actually quite a serious event. Who is ultimately responsible vor.thid massive failure?

We have now the London to Perth direct flight diverting to Karatha which has no customs. So no one will get off. The whole thing has turned into a PR nightmare and someone needs to.be held accountable . The QR flight from Doha (Airbus 380) was loaded at DOH and now it's everyone off.

Embarrassing. The airlines must be livid.

Refuelling issue now fixed apparently. Now to clear the backlog....

As you were.

The aftermath and hopefully management executive enquiry will be interesting reading. See where the finger pointing leads...yet the pax and airlines take a significant hit.

Very funny, but undoubtedly lost on those who don't follow Australian Rules football.

Perth transport infrastructure is beyond a joke! Last night, top Italian soccer teams AC Milan & Roma were playing a game in Perth. Of course, with 25 mins to kick-off, thousands of spectators are stuck on various train platforms because of a "technical issue". Transperth "thank everyone for their patience & understanding" just like Perth Airport has now.

How critical infrastructure like fuel supply doesn't have a suitable backup system in place is inconceivable. We all know that power is a critical piece of infrastructure, because if the normal source of electrical power goes off line, then backup generators kick in so that the operation can continue. Even Perth Airport has backup generators, but even they didn't work when the airport lost its normal power supply a few months ago...

I guess this one of the many benefits of privatisation we keep getting told about...
