On Friday 28 December 2018, CX163 (B773ER B-KQS), the 1025 hours HKG - MEL was airborne at 1137 so arrival is predicted as 2313 hours late tonight, 38 late.
 
CX111 (A333 B-HLQ), the redeye from HKG to SYD is arriving on Sunday 30 December at 0758, 33 late.

B-LAL on CX135 to MEL is far worse with arrival at 0908 hours, 98 late, expected. CX134, the 0850 hours will be delayed in pushback until at least 1015 so passengers with connections will miss these in some cases.

The HKG to ADL is also delayed as B-LBJ on CX175 is expected to arrive at 1213 hours, 33 late.

CX134 was airborne at 11 09, arrival now revised to 17 04, 119 behind schedule.
 
CX134, the Friday 4 January 0850 hours MEL - HKG (A359 B-LRX) was in the sky at 1123, so arrival is predicted as 1657, 112 minutes tardy. Earlier, redeye CX135 arrived in MEL at 0807 hours, 37 late, but the delay increased significantly on the ground.

There will be many missed connections from this almost two hour late flight.
 
On Saturday 5 January, CX134 (0850 hours morning MEL - HKG) is again delayed, having pushed back at 0944. A359 B-LRN should arrive at 1540, 35 late.
 
7 January 2019's CX134 (0850 hours MEL - HKG) took off at 0942 with A359 B-LRA. Arrival should be at 1535, half an hour late.

CX162 (Monday 7 January, the 1055 hours SYD - HKG with B773ER B-KQA) was in the sky at 1157. Arrival looks to be 1752, 32 late.

The HKG - BNE CX155 has A333 B-LAQ with Friday 11 January 2019 arrival suggested as 0905 hours, half an hour tardy.
 
CX110, the 0850 hours SYD - HKG on Wednesday 23 January 2019 took off at 1003 with arrival for A333 B-LAF likely at 1610 this afternoon, 45 late.
 
Sunday 3 February 2019 saw CX139, the 0840 hours morning flight from HKG down to SYD not take off until 1102. Consequently arrival was at 2231 rather than 2050 hours. This meant that B773ER B-KQA missed the SYD curfew for its scheduled 2220 hours departure to HKG. As a result, it took off from SYD on Monday 4 at 0651 hours, so will be about 470 minutes late arriving in HKG.
 
CX111, the Monday 11 February 2019 scheduled 1900 hours HKG down to SYD took off at 2053 with A333 B-LAK. Arrival should be at 0842 hours, 77 late. CX110, the 0850 hours back to HKG should be able to push back at around 1005 or 1010 hours on Tuesday 12 if all goes well.

CX135 into MEL was about 95 minutes late. A359 B-LRQ on CX134, the 0850 hours MEL - HKG looked at 1033 to be about to push back, so will be at least 65 minutes late arriving in HKG.

Friday 15 February's CX105, the 0005 hours (A359 B-LRI) did not take off until 0141. MEL arrival should be at 1319 this afternoon, 64 late. CX104, the 1535 hours ought still be punctual thanks to teh good, longer than minimum turnaround scheduled.
 
A333 B-LAX is operating as CX162D from SYD up to HKG on Sunday 17 February despite this flight only taking off an hour or so late at 1210 hours. Usually the 'D' suffix means a plane is badly delayed (often overnight). An hour isn't great, but there are many longer delays.
 
CX134, 0850 hours MEL - HKG on Wednesday 20 February was not in the sky until 1137 hours. A359 B-LRU should arrive at 1720 hours, 125 minutes behind schedule.
