Cathay Pacific Delays/Cancellations

CX156, the 0050 hours BNE up to HKG on Monday 9 July 2018 did not take off until 0941 hours. Arrival should be at 1615 this afternoon instead of 0730 hours, 525 minutes late. Aircraft is B-LRQ, an A359. The aircraft had been seven minutes early arriving in BNE last nigtht at 2313 hours as CX157, so a most unfortunate delay.

Advice from AFFers as to whether they were given hotel accommodation (if from out of town) would be great.
 
On Tuesday 17 July, CX105, the timetabled 0010 from HKG to MEL took off at 0143 with A359 B-LRA. Arrival should be at 1208 hours, 58 late.
 
Thursday 19 July 2018 finds CX174, the early morning 0625 hours ADL - HKG taking off at 0702 hours. Arrival for A333 B-HLQ should be at 1423, 38 late.

CX110 (0735 hours SYD up to HKG, A333 B-LAD) is also afflicted, having become airborne at 0927 hours. Arrival is likely at around the 1704 hours mark, 104 minutes behind the timetable.
