QF605, first of the morning on Thursday 23 July 2020 from SYD at 0605 hours for BNE was cancelled.
A333 VH-QPJ on QF409, the 0700 hours SYD - MEL departed at 0745 and took off promptly at 0757, arriving at 0908 hours, 33 late. In turn this led to a delay for QF773, the 0935 hours across to PER that did not become airborne in MEL until 1017 hours.
Unusually, QF409 from SYD to MEL is cancelled on Friday 24 July, with FR24 suggesting it was to be a B738. Often since the pandemic started, this flight has been an A333 as invariably it then proceeds across the Bight/Nullabor to distant Perth.
QF840, the 0920 hours SYD to DRW was cancelled. Instead, QF858 is serving both ASP and DRW. It was an 0800 hours ex SYD that with B738 VH-XZI was airborne at 0853, being estimated to arrive in ASP at 1113 hours, 28 late and then form a delayed 1135 hours from ASP the shorter distance up to DRW.
The 0900 hours SYD up to TMW, QF2002, was also cancelled, perhaps due to fog up north, just as a ZL flight down south to WGA got the boot. QF2006, a 1525 hours mid afternoon that was also to be a SYD up to TWM has got the boot. However QF2004 at 1205 hours from SYD seems to be still operating.
As it was yesterday, QF439 on Thursday 23 July (1130 hours SYD down to MEL) has been axed. Similarly, QF475 (the 1730 hours) has been cancelled, again leaving QF409 (see above) as the only departure from SYD to MEL on Thursday.
Two further 23 July cancellations have been (or are to be) QF733 asnd QF741, respectively the morning 0820 hours and afternoon 1535 hours SYD across to ADL, leaving QFd without a flight on this route today. Subsidiary JQd cancelled one of its two flights SYD - ADL.
