A literal grab from the Reuters/BBC News feed (before I close the computer down for the night).
According to a breaking news headline, Qantas has been cleared to fly by the Australian Regulators from 15:00AEDT.
Mentioned on the Qantas Twitter feed:
Qantas resuming services today, subject to approval. All customers booked on afternoon flights should go to airport. Some delays expected.
