Tuesday night is often the quietest weekday night for Australian domestic flights. On Tuesday 19 November, unusually, flights to MEL are arriving from the west. There are minor delays of 10 to 30 minutes.
A332 VH-EBA on QF459, the 1800 hours SYD - MEL was airborne at 1851 with resultant arrival likely at 2011, 36 minutes past the timetable.
Earlier, QF43, the daily, popular 1650 hours SYD - DPS was off blocks 50 late with suggested arrival at 2105 mid evening local time, 65 late. QF44 (the redeye nback down to SYD) is likely to depart at 2200 hours, 40 minutes tardy. A332 VH-EBQ has the task. It was 58 late arriving in SYD at 1508 mid afternoon as QF108 ex the soon to be discontinued PEK route, but then spent over time in Sydney. Often an A332 can be turned around in 80 minutes if all goes well, but it took longer this afternoon.
QF783 (the 1940 hours SYD across to ADL) was not up up and away until 2047, so B738 VH-VXL looks to be arriving at its nominated gate at 2204, 49 behind the timetable. In the opposite direction, QF766 has VH-VYD with SYD arrival estimated as 2130, half an hour tardy.
