QF23 (A333 VH-QPH), the 0950 hours SYD - BKK is living up to its reputation for unpunctuality with departure at 1018 and takeoff at 1041 suggesting a 35 minute late arrival at 1715 this afternoon BKK time. This is QF's worst medium distance A332/A333 route for not keeping to time. In contrast, TG476 at a similar time is most often punctual or close to it.
As yesterday's QF63 was delayed, the return redeye departed JNB as QF64 half an hour behind at 1640. Sunday 2 SYD arrival should be 1541, 46 late for this B744.
QF73, this afternoon's B744 at 1740 hours SYD - SFO is not being formed by 'the 64', but has been altered to depart 80 late at 1900, with arrival in the Cable Car City estimated as 1525, 85 minutes behind schedule. Old stager VH-OEB (that if I recall was meant to have been consigned to the USA scrapheap by now) is a whole minute late on QF4 (ex HNL) with SYD arrival at 1701, so it is becoming 'the 73.'
QF6201 is operating as what may well be a 'ferry' (empty) flight from CNS to BNE with B717 VH-YQS arrival suggested as 1216 hours. Two days ago, on Friday 31 May, this aircraft had endeavoured to travel the same route as QF1749 (the 1245 hours airborne at 1354) but it diverted back to CNS after reaching 25,000 feet. Another website suggests it was a 'technical issue' encountered.
