More from Brisbane Airport

Yesterday, my brother and his partner, arriving from Seoul, South Korea, asked me to pick them up from the airport. Their flight was scheduled for 8:00 am but was delayed until 9:15 am, so my daughter and I left for Brisbane Airport around 7:00 am. We went early mainly because a VietJet Airbus A330, which had arrived around 5:20 am after an eight-hour delay, was expected to depart around 7:30 am. A group of us gathered on the far side of the car park, expecting to see it take off, but then noticed on Flightradar24 that it had already departed from another runway. Saying we were shocked and frustrated would be an understatement. I did manage to capture it overflying Brisbane airport.
