After circling, VH-UQF VOZ1264 looked to land without incident.

Meanwhile, later on Friday 8 February, fellow Alliance Airlines Fokker F-70 VH-JFE flew into Emerald Airport from Brisbane as VOZ9903 presumably to take affected passengers to Brisbane.  It is due to depart as the now delayed VOZ1264.

VH-UQF is due to later still depart Emerald Airport for Brisbane on a positioning flight as UTY991.
