Surely the important bit is the arrival time on the original airline ticket with the EU/UK carrier ie BA. Not the route they then sent the OP on otherwise this would be a get out of jail free card for all EU/UK airlines.
Flyertalk thread suggest “As posted earlier in the thread, the outbound LHR-SIN-SYD flight on the 11th went tech with a fuel pump issue and so the flight was cancelled, meaning no aircraft was in SYD to operate the return SYD-SIN-LHR leg on the 13th.”
TECY – Fuel pump issue was the reason code.
Is that considered extraordinary or not for the return leg from such a far flung destination … no idea.
