A refuelling issue at Perth Airport which had grounded dozens of domestic and international flights is resolved, with normal operations to resume 'as soon as possible'.
What's next?A refuelling issue at Perth Airport which grounded domestic and international flights on Saturday morning has been resolved, the airport says.
"The effects will be felt throughout today but we'd like to think that within a short period of time after that we'll get back to normal flights," he said. "As of just recently, I can inform you that we are back to normal refuelling and obviously very keen to see a return to normal operation," Mr Waters said."From Perth airport's perspective we're very apologetic and sympathetic to impacted travellers.
"Our fuel stocks are designed for the few flights that we get not for half-a-dozen international large planes," he said.Mr McKim said the Philippines flight took a quarter of the airport's fuel capacity. "The captain was ringing every in hour saying 'dunno where the fuel is,' eventually we get kicked off the plane and the flight is cancelled."Perth resident Stephen Herbert is stranded in Doha, where he was meant to stop briefly en route from London to Perth on Qatar Airlines."No official from Qatar Airlines has given us any updates and we are relying on social media.""There's no way you can call Perth an international airport after this debacle.
