Later on 10 August, the 1545 hours CNS - MEL JQ951 (A320 VH-VFI) did not become airborne until 1819. It should pull in to its allocated airport tarmac space in MEL at 2125 tonight, 135 minutes late. This aircraft arrived in CNS today at about 1357, only 12 minutes late on the longish domestic flight from ADL, JQ951, so goodness knows what went wrong in Far North Queensland with the aircraft, staff or other delay cause.
JQ37 (B788 VH-VKL, the 1640 hours latish afternoon flight that was in the sky at 1801 hours after departing from SYD) is suggested as arriving in DPS at 2229 hours, 84 minutes late. JQ38 is predicted to depart DPS at 2340 tonight, 65 minutes late as a result for the redeye back to SYD.
The 1950 hours MEL up to CNS, JQ948 is predicted to depart slightly more than two hours late.
