Nauru Airlines Boeing B737-300 VH-PNI as RON91 from Nauru was first to arrive into Rockhampton Airport.  It later continued its journey to Brisbane.

Then Jetstar Airways Airbus A321-251NX (A321neo) VH-OYD touched down at Rockhampton Airport as JST796 flying from Melbourne (Tullamarine) to the Sunshine Coast.  It later departed to the Sunny Coast.

It is believed that a couple of local flights also diverted with a QantasLink Dash-8-Q400 flight from Emerald Airport to Brisbane noted diverting into Bundaberg Airport.
