Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[RSD]

due to ? Hydraulic/tech issue @RSD

Birdstrike?

It’s definitely technical if cancelled but let’s see when this aircraft is back to service… and as I said - these planes have been run to the ground (figuratively speaking)

They want them to hang around until the 2030 ish mark they don’t they? Not many run 330s up to the 3rd heavy check.

They would probably have to now given the delays in getting new aircraft.

A333 VH-QPH arrived MEL on Sunday 10 August at 0715 hours, 10 minutes early as QF30 overnight from HKG, but is delayed until 1500 hours in pushback on QF35, the timetabled 1205 hours MEL-SIN.

The expected delay has become 265 minutes, as the new nominal departure is at 1630 hours this afternoon (Sunday 10).

Delays aren't enjoyable, but at the least they found out something was not 100% early on, and not 4-5hrs into the flight.

@tomlee1986 , Channel 7 news - watched by many on Sunday nights - had a brief story about this.

If the A333 remains out of service tomorrow, is QF easily able to substitute a 'domestic' A332 out of SYD for whatever flight VH_QPJ had been rostered for?

Not ideal: IIRC, the A332s lack proper 'international' crew rest facilities.
