D7223 ex SYD took off at 1215 but is suggested as 57 minutes behind with arrival of 9M-XXB at 1827 early this evening KUL time.

Strong winds have struck SYD for much of Saturday 5 November thus far, so the east-west runway has largely been the only one in use, resulting in significant delays.

D7223, the 1155 hours from SYD up to KUL (A333 9M-XXC) took off at a very late 1410. Arrival is forecast for 1936 hours this evening, 126 minutes late.

On Monday 7 November, D7214 from KUL to MEL (A333 9M-XXF) is arriving at around 1037, 77 late. D7215 back to KUL is showing as departing an hour late at 1135 but 1145 or so is more likely because of the usual minimum 65-70 minute turnaround for this size of aircraft.

Wednesday 16 November sees D7214, the overnight from KUL to MEL (A333 9M-XBC) expected to be about 38 minutes late at 0958 in arriving.

 

[Melburnian1]

The Thursday 24 November D7213, the timetabled 0125 hours redeye from MEL to KUL was in the sky at 0224 hours. A333 9M-XXD should arrive at approximately 0737, 57 minutes tardy.

On Saturday 26 November, D7215, the 1035 MEL - KUL has been altered to undertake a fuel stop in ADL due to the MEL imported fuel fail specifications problem that has led to 30 per cent less jet fuel being available in the major southern capital.

This should add about 90 minutes to the total trip duration and presumably costs AirAsia thousands of dollars.

 

[Melburnian1]

Sunday 27 November 2016 sees D7215 again late, with it in the sky at 1142 and expected arrival as 1645 hours, 55 minutes delayed. 9M-XXV is the A333.

[Melburnian1]

On Tuesday 27 December, D7210, the 0600 arrival in MEL ex KUL was cancelled, reducing today's number of D7's return flights on this route to two, which not so long ago was the maximum.

 

[Melburnian1]

The Wednesday 4 January 2017 D7215 (1035 hours MEL - KUL, A333 9M-XXD) did not take off until 1120, about 25 minutes late, so arrival is predicted at 1636, 46 minutes past the allotted.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Saturday 7 January, D7222, the overnight from KUL to SYD (A333 9M-XXW) should arrive at roughly 1129, 44 minutes tardy. Expect the returning flight, D7223, the 1155, to depart instead at around 1240.

 

[Melburnian1]

Monday 9 January 2017 sees D7210, the 0600 hours early morning MEL arrival ex KUL cancelled, while the return 0730 hours D7211 from MEL to KUL has also suffered the same fate.

At present during the Christmas holidays D7 has scheduled three return KUL to MEL a day so just what happens - assuming solid bookings in at least one direction - to 300 or so passengers is something on which it would be lovely to be enlightened.

 

[Melburnian1]

Thursday 12 January has D7220 arriving in SYd (ex KUL) at about 2155, 95 minutes late. 9M-XXV is the A333.

The returning D7221 is scheduled to depart at 2140 but may do so right on 2300 hours. One wonders if things go awry whether it has or will receive a curfew dispensation.
