B789 VH-ZND on Wednesday 14 January 2026 arrived in SYD six minutes late at 0641 hours as QF76 ex YVR in Canada.

It is forming the 1220 hours SYD-SCL (QF27) altered to (hopefully) depart at 1435, 135 minutes tardy.

A333 VH-QPF is operating QF29, the 1105 hours MEL-HKG forecast to depart at 1300 hours, after arriving in MEL at 1027 (162 minutes late) as QF80 from NRT. The background is that QF61 BNE-NRT was similarly delayed yesterday.

QF 29 took off at 1357, ETA at 1954- more than 2 hrs late

In more on Wednesday 14 January, QF27 from SYD was eventually airborne at 1455 with same day arrival likely at gate at 1258 hours, 123 minutes late.

This could see the return QF28 (the 1315 hours) pushing back at about 1445 hours. This flight usually picks up time in the air as the schedule has padding for normal wind conditions, similar to most international medium and long distance flights. At a guess, instead of the schedule tomorrow late afternoon 1740 arrival at gate, this could be around the 1830 hours mark if all goes well.
