This marked the first direct flight from London Heathrow and the first visit to Karratha by a Boeing 787. Many local residents gathered at Karratha Airport to witness this rare event.
Flight QF10 from London Heathrow to Perth landed on Karratha’s runway 08 at 11:19am after being diverted due to a loss of pressure in Perth Airport’s refuelling system. Passengers remained on board the 787 while it was refuelled at Karratha.
It is seen here climbing after taking off from runway 08 at 12:50pm to resume its flight to Perth.
Perth Airport was closed from 7:26am until just before midday, resulting in 59 flight cancellations and multiple diversions and delays.
