SB110 from NOU to MEL (due in at 1215 on Saturday 29 August 2015) and the returning SB111 have been cancelled.

One wonders how these passengers make it to the island pearl. Via SYD, or the Land of the Long White Cloud? SB411, for instance, departs AKL on Sundays for NOU. There are very infrequent flights from NAN.

AirCalin has a grand total of four planes in its fleet so passengers cannot normally easily board a subbed aircraft should there be a delay or mechanical or other problem in say MEL.

SB111 on Wednesday 7 October departed MEL for NOU at 1655, 140 minutes behind the advertised time of 1435. Earlier the same aircraft had arrived in MEL an hour and 59 minutes late at 1514, so this was quite a slow turnaround in the 'Mexican capital.'
 
SB150 from NOU to BNE has been delayed by the severe storms that appear to have now passed east of BNE (and OOL). A320 F-OZNC may now land at about 1905 instead of its 1810 hours gate arrival that is timetabled.
 
SB140 from NOU to SYD is not expected to arrive on Tuesday 16 February until 1420 this afternoon, two and three quarter hours late. As a result the returning SB141 is not expected to depart until 1625 - 195 minutes late after a slow turnaround.

It's just operating on Island time..... :D
 
On Tuesday 17 May 2016, SB141 from SYD to NOU is expected to depart at 1400 hours rather than 1225. This is because the inbound flight, SB140, should arrive shortly in SYD at 1245, an hour and 55 minutes late. The longer than often required turnaround allowance in SYD may allow about 20 minutes to be gained for the outbound passengers.
 
Friday 4 November 2016 sees SB141 (1255 hours SYD - NOU, A332 F-OJSE) having become airborne at 1350. Arrival should be at 1635, 50 minutes tardy.
 
Friday 16 December 2016 has SB141, the 1255 hours lunchtime nicely timed flight from SYD to balmy NOU having become airborne at 1423. Arrival of A332 F-OHSD should be at around 1657, 72 minutes tardy.
 
The Tuesday 11 April 2017 SB141 frm SYD (1230 hours SYD to NOU) was cancelled, I gather account a typhoon or similar, but on Wednesday 12 the replacement SB141D departed SYD at about 1620 hours with A332 F-OHSD.
 
On Tuesday 19 June 2018, SB141, the 1235 hours SYD - NOU did not take off until 1702 hours in the late afternoon. A332 F-OHSD should arrive at 2044, 268 minutes late.

On Friday 3 August 2018, SB140, the 0830 hours NOU - SYD took off at 1036 so A332 F-OHSD is arriving at 1246 hours, 111 minutes behind schedule. SB141, the 1235 hours flight back to Noumea may be able to depart from about 1350 if all goes well.
 
Wednesday 14 November 2018 has SB110, the nicely timed 0850 hours from NOU down to MEL not taking off until 1045. Consequently A320 F-OZNC should arrive at 1434 hours, 104 minutes behind schedule.
 
Due to the smoke in SYD ATC tower that shut down ops on Friday 29 March 2019 from 1140 until full resumption by 1319 hours, AC140 from NOU down to SYD diverted to CBR. SYD arrival is expected at 1529 hours, 214 minutes late.
 
Tuesday 18 June 2019 finds SB141 (A332 F-OJSE, the 1240 hours from SYD up to NOU airborne at 1449) likely to arrive at 1813 in the early evening, 113 late.
 
Friday 9th of August finds SB140 NOU-SYD (A332 SB140) with an arrival predicted at 12 12, 72 min behind schedule.
 
SB141, the Monday 20 July (during coronavirus) 2020 scheduled 1240 hours lunchtime SYD - NOU has been rescheduled to depart exactly 24 hours later.
 
Friday 8 April 2022 has seen SB141 (1210 hours SYD - NOU, A320 F-OTIB) not airborne until 1342hours so arrival became 1714 hours, 79 minutes late.
