Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[ABC1]

QF2 ex LHR 9/9 did half a lap around the airport. Then cancelled. Showing departure of 1600 on 10/9 which would mean a long layover in SIN. VH-OQL.

Oh and know it’s BA but that one that returned to SYD is bound for DXB on 10/9 as BA9170.

On Wednesday 10 September 2025, QF33, the 1410 hours SYD-PER first sector is altered to depart 140 minutes late at 1810 hours. The PER to CDG pushback is optimistically expected at 2235 hours local time late tonight, 180 late. This will mean QF34 is delayed tomorrow.

A333 VH-QPH on QF59, the 1105 hours SYD to Japan's HND is forecast to arrive at 2040 hours, half an hour late.

A332 VH-EBN is operating QF51, the 1105 hours BNE-SIN airborne at 1211 with gate arrival said to be about 1804 hours, 39 minutes tardy.

Probably due to the 24 hours delayed QF2 with A388 VH-OQL, on Thursday 11 September, QF1 (1450 hours SYD-SIN-LHR) is cancelled. This will mean QF2 ex LHR on Friday 12 is also getting the boot.

Will up to c.450 passengers in each direction be booked on QF9/QF10 if spare seats, or on competitors' flights?

I'm guessing that the very heavy rain in SYD is responsible for domestic delays on Thursday 11 September.

B738 VH-VXC on QF433, the 1000 hours SYD down to MEL took off at 1202.

VH-VYC on QF518, the 1105 hours SYD-BNE was taxiing at 1204 hours.

After arriving ex MNL on QF20 on Thursday 11 September at 0625 hours in SYD, 15 minutes early, A332 VH-EBA operated empty up to BNE as QF6017, arriving at 1152 hours. It formed QF51, the 1105 hours BNE-SIN airborne at 1325 hours with gate arrival likely at 1919 hours, 114 late.

Meanwhile down in Sydney QF19 the 1225 hours lunchtime SYD up to MNL (A332 VH-EBG) took off at 1335 so arrival is forecast for 1931 hours, 41 minutes behind schedule. The delay was due to the plane operating domestic flight QF428 from MEL to SYD (arriving at 1051, 11 late) and having to transfer terminals in Sydney.

The SYD-SIN QF291 has A333 OH-LTM from Finnair with this 1020 hours flight in the sky at 1125 hours, so gate arrival looks like 1736, 46 late. This is the fourth consecutive day this flight has been more than half an hour late.

B789 VH-ZNF is operating QF93, the 0945 hours MEL-LAX that wasn't pointing skywards until 1230 hours. Arrival should be at about 2102 hours, 122 late.

I’d say they were rebooked. Also the 2 is operating at this stage on the 12th and they’ll be using OQL. I’d say a big part of cancelling the QF1 on 11/9 was crewing up the line.
