UPDATED: 5.30PM (WST) from the Perth Airport site

Advice from the Bureau of Meteorology’s Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre indicates that it is likely the volcanic ash cloud over Perth will dissipate and move out to sea overnight. This will allow airlines to review their schedules for arrivals and departures on Thursday 16 June.

An update will be provided at 7.30am tomorrow morning, Thursday 16 June, relating to the services operating to and from Perth Airport.

The following airlines are continuing to suspend some/all services until midnight tonight (Wednesday 15 June):
• Garuda Indonesia – services delayed only
• Strategic – all services cancelled
• Maroomba, Network, Cobham, Skippers – all services cancelled
• Tiger Airways – TR2719 & TR 2717 (to and from Singapore) cancelled
• Virgin Australia - all services from 1pm to midnight (WST)
• South African Airways – SA280 & SA281 (Perth to Johannesburg)
• Skywest – some services will be suspended
• Alliance – all services from 1pm to midnight (WST)
• Qantas – all services from 1pm to midnight (WST)
• Jetstar – all services from 1pm to midnight (WST

At this time, 56 flights have been affected:
• International – 7 departures, 7 arrivals
• Domestic – 20 departures, 23 arrivals (Note: Domestic Terminal 3 services only – Domestic
figures do not include Qantas or Jetstar services)
• Collectively, these cancellations will affect thousands of travellers

News says that things will be a go tomorrow...airlines say otherwise???? as the flight tomorrow morning is cancelled there will be a backlog of people trying to get a flight. I will not be going now as there is a possibility of the follow up ash cloud delaying returns next week.

Think the confusion with the airlines will be the lack of planes in the correct places to go to the right places - off to airport tomorrow fingers crossed

Virgin just advised me by phone that flights have now been suspended until Friday lunchtime.

Just on Ten News - Force to fly out in the morning Virgin to resume lunch time. A cynic would think they jumped the gun a bit on this one. Easy decision with an upside for the carriers - free up aircraft to clear the backlog in the east with extra services were put on today.

I just booked the flight online with Qantas via Sydney departing 1435 tomorrow. Still has quite a few seats available.
Hopefully this is still a goer.
