On Saturday 23 July, AI301 is worse than the previous posting, with departure not expected until 1400 hours this afternoon, so 255 minutes late.
 
Sunday 24 July has AI301, the morning 0945 hours SYD - DEL delayed to an expected 1610 in its pushback, 385 minutes late.This is due to B788 VT-ANT on yesterday afternoon's AI302, the 1325 hours early afternoon not taking off until 2125 mid evening, with arrival in SYD estimated as 1328 (in a few minutes' time), which will be 388 late.
 
On Tuesday 26 July, AI302 (B788 VT-ANA, the 1355 hours DEL - SYD) was not in the sky until 1845 hours in the early evening. Inevitably, on Wednesday 27, arrival should be at about 1106 hours late morning, 246 minutes behind schedule. This will delay AI301, the 0945 hours ex SYD to a predicted 1255, 190 minutes tardy.

AI309, the 0845 hours MEL - DEL on Wednesday is predicted to depart 170 minutes late at 1135 hours.

One advantage of using AI (compared to QF) on MEL - DEL is that in that direction, QFi makes an intermediate stop in ADL: AI does not. AI is unpunctual on its Oz routes too often.

However many still prefer (despite the indirect route) to use SQ to SIN and then connect to the good range of destinations it offers in India. That's what I did pre-COVID.
 
B788 VT-NAC operated AI308 on Saturday 30 July 2022, the 1315 hours DEL down to MEL in the sky at 1611, so Sunday 31 arrival was at 0837, 157 minutes tardy. AI309 back had yet to take off by 1028 hours.
 
Monday 8 August 2022 saw AI308 (B788 VT-ANY, the 1315 hours DEL: overnight to MEL) taking off at 1326, which was about 5-10 minutes early. On Tuesday 9, MEL arrival was 0526 hours, 34 early, but the return 0845 hours AI309 did not take off until 0938. Expected arrival in the Indian capital becomes 1740, 45 behind.
 
On Saturday 3 Seotember 2022, AI302 from DEL to SYD that had originally returned to DEL arrived in SYD at 1109 hours, 249 minutes behind schedule. B789 VT-ANC then was airborne on AI301 (0945 hours SYD-DEL) at 1309 hours with at gate arrival becoming 2105, 175 minutes tardy.

Today (Sunday 4) AI301 was altered to a 1530 hours departure with VT-NAC in the sky at 1528 for a suggested 2332 hours DEL arrival.
 
B788 VH-AND on AI302, the 1400 hours Sunday 5 March afternoon DEL-SYD took off at 1454 hours. Gate arrival on Monday 5 is suggested as 0827 hours, 32 behind schedule.
 
B788 VT-ANQ on AI308, the 1330 hours early afternoon Wednesday 9 August DEL-MEL did not take off until 1853 hours. Thursday 10 arrival at gate became 1052 hours, 262 minutes late. The 0800 hours AI309 back will be unable to push back until at least 1230, so will be badly late arriving in the Indian capital.
 
B788 VT-ANC on AI302, the Monday 14 August 2023 scheduled mid afternoon 1420 hours DEL-SYD was airborne at 1548 hours. Gate arrival on Tuesday 15 is shortly at 0806 hours, 56 minutes tardy.
