Etihad Delays/Cancellations

Monday 13 August 2018's EY450 (A380 A6-APH), the 1035 hours AUH down to SYD took off at 2250, so about 12 hours behind schedule. Arrioval is predicted on Tuesday 14 at 1822 instead of 0630 hours.

In these circumstances most catering has to be discarded, but I wonder whether the type of meals offered were varied given the 'reversed' revised timetable?
 
EY460 on Friday 24 August is expected to arrive at 1752, 32 late in MEL (ex AUH). B773ER A6-ETL is the aircraft.

The AUH - SYD EU454 has A380 A6-APH and should be at its destination gate at roughly 1835 hoyrs, 45 late.

Due to what AFF member Silvia kindly advised was a risk of lightning in the Sydney area, flights to and from there are being held, or held back, so possibly having insufficient fuel for an indeterminate landing, EY454, the Thursday 6 September 2150 hours AUH to SYD that took off at 2300 hours is diverting to MEL.

Arrival in the southern capital should be at about 1900 hours tonight, 70 minutes after the plane was timetabled to arrive in Sydney. Aircraft is A380 A6-APH.

Assuming a lack of rested, available flight and cabin crew in Melbourne, this aircraft might be there for many hours. Time will tell.
 
EY455, the 2055 hours SYD - AUH on Friday 7 September took off at 2310 hours (as its inbound EY454 had to divert down to MEL).
 
EY460 was late for 2.5 hrs yesterday (well supposed to be the 18th of Sep), we arrived quite late into Melbourne last night,

First hour were due to the fact they lost their slot (late boarding etc)
Second hour were due to disruptive passangers and a crew that fall sick during the chaos, so had to wait for a replacement.

I slept through the delay, but felt sorry for Y class passangers as it was quite a full flight.

Great info. Were the 'disruptive passengers' Caucasian Australian bogans drunk as skunks, or others?

Were they removed, or did you have to put up with them on the flight? Did they nod off to sleep once airborne?

Not sure what nationalities were they but there were 2 of them, hubby said one was white the other was not, both escorted out of the plane. As I said above, I decided to recline my seat and slept after the first hour announcement by the pilot, so I managed to miss all the dramas, only came to know because the senior FA came and informed me when I finally awake.
 
EY460 arriving in MEL on Saturday 22 September has B773ER A6-ETO and should be at its gate at about 1820 hours, an hour behind schedule.
 
The AUH - MEL EY460 (B773ER A6-ETO) is in a holding pattern as at 1801 on Thursday 21 September so arrival looks to be at about 1825, 65 minutes tardy.

that does not sound good as I can see lots of AUH MEL flights I am taking the next 3 yrs.
 
EY455, the Thursday 15 November 2018 scheduled 2150 hours SYD - AUH (A380 A6-APH) took off at 2235 with Friday 16 arrival suggested as 0605, 35 late.

On Dec 13th, 2018 EY454 AUH-SYD (A380 service - A6-APH) diverted to BNE due to weather in Sydney

Update: BNE-SYD leg departed at 21 27, with a 23 44 arrival into SYD.

This meant that EY455 SYD-AUH did not run as expected at 21 50, instead it departed a day later at 17 03, with an predicted arrival of 23 36.

Due to the ferocious storms enveloping Sydney on the afternoon of Thursday 20 December 2018, EY451, the 1640 hours SYD - AUH (A380 A6-APJ) did not take off until 1756, almost an hour late.

EY463 (1650 hours MEL - AUH, B789 A6-BLV) is worse with takeoff at 2014 meaning likely Friday 21 arrival at 0320 hours, 195 late.
