Continuing with Sunday 8 September 2024, QF655 (1945 hours SYD-PER, A332 VH-EBG) was not airborne until 2114 with at gate arrival estimated as 2356 hours, 66 minutes late.
This sometimes not only means redeye QF654 (the 2355 hours from PER back to SYD) is delayed, but subsequently also a domestic such as QF643, the 0820 hours morning SYD-PER. The latter has arrived PER more than 15 minutes late on five of its last seven operating days.
Having experienced a redeye from PER to MEL years ago, I swore 'never again'.
Meanwhile, B789 VH-ZNK on QF5 from PER to FCO has arrived at gate at 1110 hours, 70 minutes late. The returning QF6 is optimitsically showing as pushing back at 1155: 1240 or later might be more accurate.
