Very rare CX severe delay - CX104 from MEL schedule to depart at 1535 on B-KPY (13 year old 777-300ER) now delayed to 2200
 
CX 100 to HKG on 06/11/25 was taxing for take off on 34L when there was a sudden right turn to the aircraft parking area across from Terminal 1. The Captain announced he had a warning indication on one engine. The aircraft returned to a gate at T1. Approximately 2 hours later, after the engineers working on the issue, the flight finally departed.
 
CX105 to Melbourne is delayed - it is B-KQC (77W) took off on time at 0055 - BUT Flight returned due to blown tire…

@tomlee1986 , another B773ER (B-KQY) ended up operating CX105 from HKG to MEL. On Wednesday 10 December, its scheduled 0030 hours departure turned into takeoff at 0744 local time, meaning an uncomfortable night for all travellers. It arrived MEL at 1917 hours, 407 minutes late.

The return flight CX104 (the 1535 hours) took off at 2103 hours. HKG gate arrival should be about 0253 hours on Thursday 11, 303 minutes late.

This arrival time in HKG won’t be good to anyone because only possible transport are night buses (infrequent) or taxi!!
