On Monday 15 December, LR263 from CBR to HBA, the 1010 hours took off at 1036 with aircraft SAAB 340B VH-VEZ. Arrival should be approximately 1258, 42 late.
 
On 26 December 2025, LR993, the 1315 hours MEL up to DBO took off at 1357 with SAAB 340B VH-VEM. Arrival at 1508 will be 33 minute late.

LR333, the 1325 hours MEL-OAG took off at 1407 with VH_VEF so it too will be more than half an hour late arriving.

LR252 from WOL to MEL has -VED: it's arriving 32 late at 1417 hours.

MEL is again on single runway ops that is creating delays.
 
On Sunday 4 January 2026 there have been storms in and around Sydney and other parts of the coast such as Woolongong, so not sure if this is the cause of SAAB 340B VH-VED as LR252, the 1325 hours WOL down to MEL not taking off until 1618. Arrival is suggested as 1730 hours.
 
On a very hot (but far from record breaking) day in Melbourne, Friday 9 January 2026, LR992, the 1035 hours midmorning DBO down to MEL took off at 1110 hours. Arrival for SAAB 340B VH-VEM should be at about 1305 hours, 63 minutes late.
