It is counterintuitive but Friday mornings on approach to MEL seems among the worst weekly periods for aircraft having to hold. Friday 31 May is no exception as JQ503, the 0700 hours SYD - MEL airborne at 0733 with A320 VH-XSJ circles above Mt Buller in the usual position. Arrival is predicted as 0910 hours, 35 late.

JQ700 (A321 VH-VWX, the 0805 HBA up to MEL airborne at 0827, only about seven minutes late) is arriving at 0952 hours, 32 late as it had to hold for quite a while above Korumburra.

The overbight JQ30 (BKK down to MEL, B788 VH-VKG) should arrive 36 late at 1006 hours.

 

[Melburnian1]

Continuing with Friday 31 May, JQ506 (A320 VH-XSJ), the 0915 hours midmorning MEL - SYD was not in the sky until 1014, so delayed arrival should be 1121 hours, 41 late.

The following JQ508 has A321 VH-VWX and is the 1005 hours MEL - SYD airborne at 1054, with projected arrival 31 late at 1201 hours.

JQ664 from MEL to AYQ, the 0945 hours took off at 1056. A320 VH-VQM should arrive at 1312, 57 late.

VH-VQG on JQ758, the 1005 hours HBA up to BNE was in the sky at 1057 with expected arrival at 1327, 47 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

JQ1, the MEL - HNL 1545 hours flagship on Friday 31 May has B788 VH-VKL and departed at 1625, taking off at 1646. Arrival should be same day at 0700 hours, 45 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Friday 31 May, JQ44, the 1235 hours from DPS took off at 1301 with B788 VH-VKB. Arrival should be at 2033, 33 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

Saturday 1 June's JQ67 from MEL up to CGO, the 1430 hours, took off at 1559 with B788 VH-VKG. Expected arrival is 0012 hours on Sunday 2, delaying the redeye JQ68, the 0045 hours that is predicted to push back 45 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Sunday 2 June, the CGO - MEL overnight should arrive at 1346 hours, 41 late with B788 VH-VKG.

 

[Melburnian1]

JQ515 (1400 hours SYD - MEL southbound, airborne at 1457 with A320 VH-VQH) should arrive at about 1606 hours, 31 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

JQ503 (Monday 3 June 2019, the 0700 hours SYD - MEL in the sky at 0749, about 35 late) has A320 VH-VGP and should arrive at 0907, 32 late.

A321 VH-VWY on JQ972, the 0720 hours MEL - PER was airborne at 0833 so arrival will be at 1027, 52 late. The rain is causing significant delays in MEL.

JQ832 (0830 hours MEL - PPP) took off at 0916 with arrival likely at 1155 hours, half an hour behind. This flight is unusual for JQd in that at present it only operates three days a week.

VH-VGU on the 0755 hours morning MEL down to AVV, JQ605, was in the sky at 0849. Resultant arrival is 1007, 37 late. This will delay JQ630, the 1010 hours AVV up to OOL to about 1040 hours.

 

[Melburnian1]

Later on 3 June 2019, JQ825 from BNE down to SYD, the lunchtime 1310 hours but not in the sky until 1526 with A321 VH-VWU should arrive at 1636 hours, 111 minute slate.

JQ972 (see above) was delayed MEL - PER so the return JQ977 is also tardy, with arrival for VH-VWY suggested as 1639, 49 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

During the evening of 3 June, JQ521 (A321 VH-VWU), the 1600 hours SYD - MEL did not take off until 1805. Arrival should be 1919 hours, 104 late.

JQ517 on the same route (VH-VWZ, the 1725 hours in the sky at 1821) is arriving at its equivalent of a gate at 1939 hours, 39 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

JQ44 ex DPS should arrive on 3 June in MEL at 2033 hours, 33 late. Aircraft is B788 VH-VKF.

With extremely wet weather in Sydney on Tuesday 4 June, there are a huge number of delays and an inevitable growing list of cancellations.

The 0735 hours MEL - SYD (A320 VH-VQE, JQ502) did not take off until 0845 hours so arrival is an expected 0953, 53 late.

JQ784, the 0930 hours SYD - MCY is estimated to depart 45 late.

A320 VH-VGJ on JQ761 (0705 hours ADL across to SYD airborne at 0811) should arrive at about 1018 hours, 53 late.

JQ605 from SYD down to AVV (A320 VH-VGU, the 0755 hours airborne at 0846) is estimated to arrive at 1003 hours, 33 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

JQ608, the Tuesday 4 June 2019 scheduled 1750 hours AVV up to SYD (A320 VH-VQK) took off at 1815 with arrival suggested as 1955 hours, 40 late.

One has to feel sorry for passengers on JQ841, the 1010 hours morning PPP to SYD (VH-JQG) that did not become airborne until 1755 hours. Suggested arrival is 2010 hours, 460 minutes behind schedule. It looks like this plane had to undertake a rescue mission as it ferried as JQ7992 to PPP, arriving at 1715 hours.

A320 VH-VFL had earlier operated JQ840, the 0710 hours SYD - PPP, arriving at 1002 hours, 22 late. It looks to still be there. In addition to any problems with the plane, the crew may well have run out of hours or even gone back to SYD on the relief plane, so that might create a further delay.

As these JQ flights do not operate daily, is it possible JQ might have to have a crew fly to MKY when the aircraft was repaired (if that's the problem) and then send them by road to PPP? Or would a BNE-based crew just come up on the six day a week JQ830?

 

[Melburnian1]

JQ771 (0610 hours ADL across to MEL, Wednesday 5 June, A320 VH-XSJ) was not in the sky until 0653 hours, about half an hour behind schedule. Having to hold south of Warracknabeal and Donald hasn't assisted timekeeping, with arrival suggested as 0856, 51 late.
