Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

The delayed QF15 from BNE (A332 VH-EBV) took off on 10 November at 1633 hours with LAX same day gate arrival likely to be 1107 hours, 182 minutes late. Thankfully there's a generous turnaround time allocated in Los Angeles.

QF43 (1625 hours afternoon flight from SYD up to popular DPS) has A333 VH-QPI), and took off bang on 1700 hours. Gate arrival should be about 2024 hours, 39 minutes late.

QF97 (1405 hours BNE up to MNL, A332 VH-EBL) was in the sky mid afternoon at 1532 AEST. It should arrive at approximately 2105, 45 late.

Brisbane is the problem location today.

As noted above QF15 went out late today.

QF51 was cancelled due to VH-QPD going out for maintenance issues, this has in turn cancelled tonights QF52.

QF623 the BNE-MEL appeared to have boarded and pushed back as VH-VYZ but a technical issue meant a change to VH-VXI causing QF623 to arrive a bit over 2 hours late, QF622 is still in the air and also suffering a knock on 2 hour delay but VYZ seems to be fixed as it's also in the air operating BNE-MEL as QF633

QF97 also left about an hour late but will make up some time. This appears to be related to it's late arrival as QF522 at the domestic terminal which obviously would have required towing to International.

Things weren't also great in the regional space as QF2330 BNE-GLT returned to Brisbane early this morning. Unsure exactly why but it looped around a bit and that Dash 8 operated fine rest of the day.

It is unusual for QF28, the scheduled 1300 hours SCL back across to SYD to run late, helped by a greater than minimum turnaround allowance in Santiago de Chile.

However on Tuesday 10 November, despite arriving in SCL at gate at 0912 hours (only seven minutes late) as 'the 27', B789 VH-ZNI as QF28 did not take off until 1443. Wednesday 11 gate arrival in Sydney should be about 1843 hours, 93 minutes late.

@henrus was (as usual) correct: A332 VH-EBL on this 1405 hours BNE-MNL did not take off until 1532 but arrived MNL at 2101 hours, only 41 minutes late. The return QF98 (the 2135 hours) was up up and away at 2306, so allowing for close to half an hour taxiing time, it was then about an hour late, but on Wednesday 11 should arrive at its BNE gate at approximately 0755, half an hour behind schedule.

The 0730 hours AKL-SYD QF142 (B738 VH-VZJ) was airborne at 0758, so at that stage less than 15 minutes late, but gate arrival becomes an estimated 0941 hours, 36 minutes tardy.

More bedbugs found before takeoff?

More bedbugs found before takeoff?

Doubt it, as doing a specialist clean would not just take an hour.
