Cathay Pacific Delays/Cancellations

Again, the high risk CX162/10 Aug has been delayed again.
The scheduled 10.10am service only took off at 11.21am and now arriving at 6.18pm HKT, which is 33 minutes behind schedule.
I am concerned that some passengers trasnferring to TPE would have been severely delayed or need to be rebooked.
Honestly, I think Cathay Pacific should retime CX162 for a 11am departure to avoid the peak slot periods between 10-11am.
 
CX110/25 Aug is now delayed.
It is now revised to depart at 9.55am and will arrive HKG around 5.10pm, which is 2 hours late.
I am sad that HKers will now miss their afternoon tea upon arrival.
Update: CX162 has now overtaken CX110, which suggests CX110/25 Aug will arrive after afternoon tea time.
Update 2: It will arrive at 18:10 HKT, which is 3 hours late.
I am super concerned that passengers will be missing CX542 which means they will need to stay at Hong Kong overnight in order to go to Haneda.

B773ER B-KPZ on Sunday 30 August's CX181, the scheduled 0045 hours HKG down to SYD was in the sky at 0151 hours. Gate arrival is shortly, at about 1230 hours, 45 minutes late.

Returning flight CX100 is timetabled to push back at 1405 so is likely to be at least slightly delayed.

Earlier, what @LionKing describes (in a reference to unpunctuality) as the 'high risk' CX161 (also a B773ER, B-KPE) arrived in Sydney 65 late at 0945 hours mid morning. Its return flight up to HKG, CX162 (the 1010 hours from SYD) remained taxiing as at 1211 hours, so will be substantially late arriving in Hong Kong.

I am not too concerned about the CX100 as that turnaround is normally pretty good and got room to wriggle… should make up time to arrive on time as the return
