China Eastern Delays/Cancellations

The 1930 NKG - SYD Friday 17 August 2018 redeye, MU727 (A332 B-8231) took off at the unattractive hour of 0322 on Saturday 18 so SYD arrival is suggested as 1544, 434 minutes tardy.
 
Saturday 18 August's MU711, the 1905 hours HGH - SYD was airborne at 0129 hours on Sunday 19. A332 B-5968 is arriving at 1318 hours, 338 minutes late. MU712, the day flight back to HGH should be able to commence pushback at about 1440 (200 minutes late) if all goes well, but the single runway operations in SYD may create a further delay in getting airborne.

UPDATE: MU 712 took off from SYD at 1457 with suggested HGH arrival as 2336 late tonight, 211 minutes tardy.

Friday 31 August 2018 sees MU561, the overnight from PVG down to SYD (A332 B-5968) likely to arrive at 1014 hours, 74 late. The 1100 hours MU562 return will be delayed until at least 1130 in its departure.
 
Monday 3 September 2018 sees MU561 from PVG down overnight to SYD arriving at 0946, 46 late with A332 B-50952.
 
MU737 (2005 hours Thursday 6 September 2018 PVG down to MEL that was in the sky at 2211) is arriving on Friday 7 at 1011, 71 late with A332 B-5931.
 
In what must have been uncomfortable for travellers, MU749 on Wednesday 14 November, the 2205 hours ex WUH, did not take off until 0417 on Thursday 15. Not long enough for an hotel, but the worst time (into the small hours) for a delay. A332 B-5952 should arrive at 1724 instead of 1135 in SYD.
 
On Thursday 22 November 2018, winds gusting to 57kmh at SYD have restricted most flights to runway 25, so not surprising that MU562 (A332 B-5941, the 1200 'high noon' SYD up to PVG) was still waiting at 1342 for takeoff. It will be at least an hour late arriving.
 
Friday 7th of Dec sees MY739 PVG-MEL (B-6099) 00 20 service depart until 2 44, arrival is predicted about 16 04, 119 late.
 
MU711 (the overnight HGH down to SYD with A332 B-5941) should arrive at 1321 hours, 126 late on Sunday 9 December 2018. MU740, the return flight is timetabled to depart until 1245 so it should be able to do so at about 1435.
 
Friday 14th of Dec sees A332 B-8231 on MU561 from PVG down to SYD, diverting to SPN. The SPN-SYD leg arrived at 11 38 am, 98 min behind schedule.
This has affected MU562 SYD-PVG which took off until 13 57, arrival is now revised to 21 25, 115 tardy.
 
MU737, the 1945 hours PVG to MEL (Monday 24 December 2018) took off at 2119 (A332 B-5931) with arrival estimated at 1051, 51 late.

Tuesday 2 January 2019 sees A332 B-5952 on MU561, the 2020 hours New Year's Day PVG - SYD that took off at 2122 likely to arrive at 1030, half an hour late. The returning MU562 back to mainland China is not scheduled to depart SYD until 1200 'high noon' so it should be able to depart on time.
 
A332 B-5908 on MU715 from PVG to BNE, the 2100 hours on Friday 11 January 2019 that was in the sky at 2159 is arriving on Saturday 12 at 1008, 68 minutes tardy.
 
The WUH down to SYD MU749 has A332 B-5961. It was airborne on Sunday 13 January at 2310 hours, an hour after scheduled pushback, so on Monday 14 is likely to arrive at 1216 hours, 41 late. MU749 is not scheduled to depart until 2205 tonight so it should be punctual.
