Does anyone know why there is an MH A330 on the tarmac overnight in Melbourne? Just curious...I understand MH does a quick turnaround in MEL.

Certainly from the data I have seen, post 24th March the flights have left around the times mentioned above.

Could this be the reason?

As per Cubes,
The ground handler removed the nose wheel chocks, without confirming " Brake On".
The aircraft rolled back and basically ripped off door 1L.
Another great decision by managment to remove skilled and qualified manpower/personnel!
Once again the so called savings are HUGE!
