On Monday 19 January, QF27 from SYD across to SCL (B789 VH-ZNB) arrived at 1102 hours, seven minutes late. However unusually the return QF28 (the 1315 hours) was not up up and away until 1729 meaning likely gate arrival in SYD on Tuesday 20 at 2102 hours, 202 minutes behind schedule. Monday's...

In more on 19 January, QF11 (A388 VH-OQL) took off at 2103 hours with same day arrival at gate estimated as 1515 hours, 165 minutes behind schedule. A333 VH-QPK is operating QF103, the 21010 hours evening SYD up to HNL airborne at 2121. Arrival should be 0942 hours, 42 late.

Agree with @Scarlett re some of the PR A333s: shocking. IIRC, six of its 10 have the terrible design. Fortunately there've apparently been lots of complaints when the poorly configured A333s come to SYD (or more often, MEL) so in recent weeks it's been exclusively the better ones, thank God...

On Monday 19 January 2026, CX162, the scheduled 1105 hours SYD-HKG (B773ER B-KPY) is delayed for the third time in four day. It took off at 1213 hours with FR24 claiming that instead of the timetabled 1730 hours at gate arrival, it will be 1901 hours (1856 landing, plus my arbitrary five...

On Monday 19 January 2026, QF11, the scheduled 1745 hours SYD-LAX A380 is forecast to depart at 2000 hours. At a guess, it's being formed by the late running QF64 (A388 VH-OQL) that should arrive at its SYD gate (ex JNB) at about 1746 hours, 196 minutes late. A332 VH-EBO arrived in MEL (ex...

Monday 19 January 2026 has seen the TAO down to SYD JD479 arrive at its gate at 0906 hours, 71 minutes tardy with A333 B-3091. Return flight JD480 (the 0955 hours) is likely to be delayed until at least 1045 in pushing back.

Sunday 18 January's VJ85, the 1930 hours SGN down to SYD took off at 2026 hours with A333 VN-A810. Monday 19 arrival at gate in Sydney was 0902 hours, 57 minute late. Thanks to a fairly generous turnaround allowance, VJ86, the 1115 hours back up to SGN has a good chance of punctually pushing back.

I've seen instances in other subject areas where AI makes erroneous claims presented as fact. Rubbish in, rubbish out. Thank you for dissecting the above as it can be difficult when one lacks significant knowledge of a subject to discern what's factual and what ought be questioned.

B789 VH-ZND arrived on Sunday 18 January 2026 at its MEL gate at 2101 hours, 691 minutes late. This QF94 arrival is forming the 1200 'high noon' MEL back up to LAX, QF93, optimistically listed as departing at 2240 hours. My guess is this will turn into a pushback later than 2300 tonight...

On a recent SQ inbound flight, paper arrival forms were not handed out. I had to ask, and was given one after a few minutes. Did this mean most on the aircraft had to find a paper form once they alighted, and then fill it out? I carry a pen, but I bet many passengers do not. I agree a paper...

On Sunday 18 January 2026, A333 VH-QPE arrived in MEL at gate at 0624 hours, nine minutes late as QF36 overnight from SIN. It then worked empty flight QF5007, an 0745 hours airborne at 0827, arriving SYD at 0943 hours. It is presently working QF67, the 0930 hours midmorning SYD-BLR in India in...

On Friday 16 January 2026, UL605, the scheduled 1725 hours MEL-CMB (A333 4R-ALP) took off at 1802 hours but only flew as far as Tintinara in South Australia before diverting back to MEL, and eventually taking off for a second time at 2121, arriving CMB on Saturday 17 at 0146 hours, 206 minutes...

QF7 on Saturday 17 January 2026 took off at 1637 with A388 VH-OQG. Same day arrival at gate should be 1414 hours, 104 minutes late. A333 VH-QPC is on QF59, the 1200 'high noon' SYD-HND. This was in the sky at 1321 hours for mooted gate arrival tonight at 2044, 44 late. Sister QPI is on the...

An excellent post. I agree 200 per cent. QFi is trying to do too much with too few planes. No one says QFi is 'unsafe' but given the age of its A330s and the myriad problems besetting its A380s, it seems even for people like me with no knowledge of engineering or aircraft maintenance that...

Empty flight QF6012 with A388 VH-OQC that's been inoperable for about 40 days looks to have just departed LAX at about 0047 hours on Friday 16 January 2026, but has yet to take off for SYD.

QF35 (A332 VH-EBJ, the 1205 hours Friday 16 January MEL-SIN) did not take off until 1441 hours so gate arrival is forecast as 1912 hours, 127 minutes late. The aircraft had spent 24 hours in Melbourne so not sure why the delay. 'The 79' from MEL to NRT with A333 VH-QPD is the 0925 hours...

QF7 (1405 hours afternoon SYD-DFW) is cancelled on Friday 16 January. A388 VH-OQC should arrive in Sydney on Saturday morning 17 January according to @Flyerqf .

Also on Thursday 15 January, QF26 from HND down to SYD arrived at 1948 hours, 58 minutes late with A333 VH-QPE. It was also late on QF26 yesterday, and QF25 SYD-HND overnight. It is forming QF103, the 2010 hours SYD up to HNL altered to depart at a hoped for 2130 hours, 80 minutes late.
