A refuelling issue that forced airlines to cancel almost 70 flights at Perth Airport has been resolved as attention turns to clearing a backlog of planes.
A refuelling issue that grounded almost 70 planes at Perth Airport is under investigation as the threat of further cancellations looms. Travellers heading to or departing the main West Australian airport were left in limbo on Saturday after a fuel load pressure issue in the supply system prevented planes from being refuelled.
" It would be up to the airlines to determine if any further flights would be cancelled as they worked to clear the backlog. The cancelled flights included departures from Perth to Sydney, Darwin, Brisbane, Kuala Lumpur and Bali, and arrivals from the same locations. Some arrivals were diverted to other airports including a flight from London which was forced to land in Karratha in WA's north.
