It appears that the demise of the A380 from QF93 also comes with a retiming of QF93 from 0945 hrs to 2245hrs, and an extension of QF10 PER-MEL
QF93 2245-- 1905
There is no retiming of QF94
However QF10 PER-MEL arrives in MEL at 2045
Perhaps the retiming of QF93 allows better utilisation of a 787-9 and gives PER customers an easy connection to LAX
However, the downside is the potential for delays in the the QF9/10 sectors extending to QF93, and onward connections ex QF93 would be very difficult
This domino effect of delays were evident at MEL when QF were operating QF9/10 via DXB using the A380 and then turning it around to operate QF93/94 or vica versa. The turn around time was less than 2 hours. This meant that delays on one sector just dominoes into the next.
