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 .

On Friday 16 January 2026, QF7, the 1405 hours SYD-DFW A388 has been cancelled.

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.

After diverting to FCO for fuel, QF33 took off from Rome at 0733 hours with CDG (Paris) arrival at gate suggested as 0911 hours, 141 minutes late. Not too bad in the circumstances. B789 VH-ZNE is then forecast to depart CDG at 1145 hours, 85 minutes late.

As recorded in the 'Qantas Cancellations/Delays' thread, the Wednesday 14 January 2026 QF33 departure from Perth looked for a brief period near Kuwait as if it was going to turn back but shortly instead will make a fuel stop in Rome on its way to Paris. From what I can see on its three most...

At lunchtime on Thursday 15 January 2026 I wondered why so many flights were delayed up to two hours in departing Sydney. This seemed sudden, and unrelated in many cases to late arrivals from elsewhere. 'AFR' has a story stating this has been due to a shortage (again) of air traffic...

QF33, the Wednesday 14 January PER to CDG took off at 2036, only 16 minutes after timetabled pushback, but after looking like it might divert southwards when it was close to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, is instead about to make a fuel stop in FCO due to the sudden closure of Iranian airspace. FCO...

Continuing with Thursday 15 January, QF19, the lunchtime 1205 hours SYD-MNL (A333 VH-QPH) took off at 1412 hours so arrival at gate should be about -ZNF is on the 1220 hours long haul SYD to SCL (QF27) that was airborne at 1335, so arrival looks like 1141 hours same day, 46 minutes late. A332...
