A333 VH-QPH on QF143, the 0930 hours SYD across to AKL was still in the early stages of taxiing in SYD as at 1031, so will be at least 50 minutes late.
From a quick look SYD may again be on single runway (east-west) ops. Disastrous for timekeeping on a busy Saturday morning, but maybe not so bad on Saturday afternoon, later, when airline traffic is less. Winds at 1030 hours were gusting to 54kmh.
By 1032 hours, QF121 (B738 VH-VZJ) had not departed, despite being the 0940 hours scheduled SYD across to ZQN.
Earlier down in MEL, QF79 departed only 15 late at 0925 but NRT arrival is forecast as 1914, 39 late.
B738 VH-VXL operated QF6126 from BNE to SYD that presumably is an empty working ('ferry flight.') It landed at 1101 hours.
VH-VZP on QF516 (1000 hours SYD - BNE) was not far from take off as at 1104, so is at least 45 minutes late.
QF127 (1020 hours SYD - HKG) has been delayed until an estimated 1100 hours.
QF129 is worse. This 0930 hours SYD - PVG has been cancelled, so tonight's redeye QF130 will suffer the same fate.
