Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[RSD]

Tuesday 8 July 2025 sees the 1020 hours SYD-SIN (QF81, A388 VH_OQJ) delayed to an expected 1815 hours early evening pushback. This will be particularly teething for the elderly and those with small children travelling back on QF82 that at this stage "should" depart Singapore at 0205 hours for Sydney.

Any idea of the cause of the 8 hour delay?

On Wednesday 9 July 2025, QF30 from HKG to MEL arrived at its gate at 0751 hours, 66 minutes late with A333 VH_QPB.

QF29 today (VH-QPJ) is worse, as this 1020 hours scheduled flight ex MEL was airborne at 1221 hours with gate arrival forecast for 1929 hours, 94 behind in HKG.

B789 VH-ZNK on the Paris to Perth QF34 arrived this morning at 1039 hours, 114 minutes tardy, and has formed the second leg to SYD that's due there at about 1752 hours, 87 late, so at least it will have picked up a bit of time.

QF81 from SYD to SIN has A388 VH-OQA that is estimated to arrive at gate at 1728, 38 behind.

Isn't QF29 MEL-HKG and QF30 HKG-MEL (not SYD in each case?)

No, but the return flight QF82 arrived on Wednesday 9 July in SYD at 1230 hours, 365 minutes late.

Yes, my apologies. Will correct.

On Thursday 10 July 2025, QF127 (1020 hours SYD-HKG, A333 VH-QPC) is expected to depart 50 late at 1110 hours.

A388 VH-OQB is rostered for QF63 that should depart 90 minutes behind schedule at 1100 hours. This plane arrived 59 minutes late at 0829 this morning as QF12 from LAX, so the delay is understandable.

B789 VH-ZNA on 'the 10' from LHR down to PER should arrive today at about 1244 hours, 54 minutes late.

In more on Thursday 10 July 2025, QF19, the lunchtime 1225 hours SYD-MNL that's meant to be A332 VH-EBK is expected to depart tonight at 2150, 565 minutes late. Perhaps optimistically, the evening 2035 hours MNL-SYD QF20 is forecast to depart Philippines at 0535 hours.

An uncomfortable overnight wait in Manila in the 'gray area' where it's insufficient to arrange an hotel for all passengers on 'the 20'.

Sister -EBR is rostered on QF43, the mid afternoon 1620 hours SYD-DPS altered to depart at 1930, 190 minutes behind schedule.

Another A332, -EBN is on QF51, scheduled at 1105 from BNE up to SIN but which did not become airborne until 1358 hours, meaning likely gate arrival at around 1946 hours tonight local time, 141 late.
