Due to JQ13 being cancelled from SYD to KIX on Thursday 1 January 2026 as noted above, JQ16, the 2145 hours mid evening KIX down to CNS also go the boot.

On Friday 2, JQ15, the scheduled 1235 hours CNS back up to KIX B788 is estimated to depart 150 minutes late at 1505 mid afternoon.

What was yesterday a presumably defective B788, VH_VKE is showing as supposedly operating an empty SYD-CNS flight JQ8992 due out of SYD on the dot of 0600 hours this morning, but by 0825 hours it had not taken off.

JQ30 overnight from BKK to MEL has B788 VH-VKA with arrival at gate forecast for 1154 hours on 2 January, 94 minutes late. Yesterday it only arrived BKK 16 minutes late at 1916 hours as JQ65 from BNE, so not sure why it was delayed in Bangkok.
