Qantas Delays/Cancellations

On Sunday 23 November, QF103 (the evening 2010 hours SYD-HNL, A333 VH-QPL) did not take off until 2218. Arrival was at 1027 hours, 87 late.

The return QF104 also on Sunday 23 was in the sky at 1337 so Monday 24 evening arrival in Sydney should be about 2041 hours, 141 minutes behind schedule.

Sister QPB on QF29, the 1105 hours Monday MEL-HKG took to the sky at 1157 meaning gate arrival tonight at 1805, half an hour behind.
 
A388 VH-OQB on the Monday 24 November 2025 QF1 (scheduled at 1555 hours from SYD for SIN and then LHR) took off exactly an hour later. Lion City gate arrival should be at about 2214 hours, 69 minutes late.

B789 VH-ZNK arrived PER at 1232, only two minutes late, on Monday 24 November as QF10 from LHR.

As is often the case, it did not return to LHR last night, but instead formed the second leg of QF33, the evening 2020 hours PER-CDG that took off at 2218 hours. Paris arrival on Tuesday 25 should be about 0752 hours, 62 minutes late. Given the relatively generous turnaround allowance in Paris, QF34 in theory should be punctual.

Updating the previous post, QF1 managed to gain some time on its SYD to SIN sector on Monday 24, arriving at 2135, half an hour late. However its next leg (to LHR) did not see it take off until 0138 hours, with arrival today at gate suggested as 0722 hours, 67 late. The 23 November QF2 arrival in SIN had been about 55 minutes late so not sure if this led to retiming of the QF1.
