Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[RSD]

Departure now delayed to 19.50.

At least they are trying

 

[I love to travel]

Departure now delayed to 19.50.

Are you allowed to check in?

QF836 MEL-DRW diverted to KNX on account of a disabled aircraft stuck on runway 11/29
Plane appears to still be in Kununurra
QF849 DRW-PER cancelled
QF113 DRW-SIN delayed (scheduled departure 1455 actual departure 1636)

I believe the usual flow is MEL-DRW-SIN so assume the PER aircraft has been hastily requisitioned to cover the (full) SIN service. Can’t back this assertion up with paperwork however

We were able to check in after QF updated the departure time to 19.50.

Enjoyed an excellent lunch at the MEL F lounge. Food and service were great.

We've boarded and now doors closed. JQ35 departed around 7pm. I overheard the CSM saying to a pax on boarding that we could divert to DRW if necessary. Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that!

Current DRW volcanic ash advisory:

RMK: VA TO FL530 MOV W FCST TO DISSIPATE WITHIN 18H. VA TO
FL400 MOV S FCST TO DISSIPATE WITHIN 18HRS. VA TO FL350 MOV
E FCST TO DISSIPATE WITHIN 6-9HRS. CONTINUOUS VA EMISSIONS

DISPERSION OUTPUT.
NXT ADVISORY: NO LATER THAN 20250618/1040Z=

Reportedly a rescue flight inbound from Perth. Some chat about a landing gear failure- unclear if the QF 737 or the aircraft stuck on the runway at DRW (which I haven’t been able to identify)

Also on Wednesday 18 June 2025, QF1, the 1450 hours SYD-SIN-LHR with A388 VH-OQL was airborne at 1723, so SIN gate arrival should be at about 2307 hours local time, 112 minutes late. This will delay the second sector.

A332 VH-EBJ has had a significant amount of late running recently. 18 June has been no exception, with it arriving at 0723 hours (108 late) as QF36 from SIN to MEL, and later as QF39, the 1450 hours MEL-CGK taking off at 1711 with gate arrival suggested as 2116 hours, 121 late.

Domestically, QFd may have had a B738 fail in Perth, as VH-VZX on QF651 from SYD that arrived at 1832 hours, 13 minutes early is forming QF940, the late afternoon 1750 hours PER up to BNE estimated to depart shortly at 1925 hours Western Australian time.
