Today's BA164

Anyone know what happened to today's 164? It left Tel Aviv but landed in Larnaca and was subsequently cancelled. Am only interested as it's a flight I take regularly!

Thay have had issues with contaminated fuel at Tel Avi for a few days now, but apparently it was fixed - maybe it wasn't?

ba.com is misleading on this at first glance. It shows the Larnaca - Heathrow sector as cancelled but the sector above shows confirmed Tel Aviv - Heathrow direct as operating.

Over the last couple of days the 767 operated BA162 has operated via LCA but the 777 operated BA164 has flown direct.

Apparently not.

It seems that the Tel Aviv fuel situation is not all clear as reported yesterday. For the next several days the BA162 Boeing 767 operated service is scheduled to refuel in Larnaca whereas the BA164 Boeing 777 operated service is scheduled to operate directly to Heathrow.

I had thought that all the fuel issue were taken care of too (all local news reports claimed so).
But, am on the 162 in about an hour and we are indeed stopping to refuel in LCA.

Does that mean the 777 will be return fuelled but the 767 will uplift fuel in LCA- assuming the 777 has a higher max landing weight meaning it can land with the fuel needed to fly back to LHR?

Glad to see they're not being fuelish.
