Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

On Thursday 18 December, QF2 from LHR and SIN is arriving in SYD at about 0718 hours, 43 minutes late with A388 VH-OQL.

QF4 from AKL to JFK has B789 VH-ZNL with gate arrival likely half an hour tardy at 1455 hours.

In more on Thursday 18 December 2025, A332 VH-EBR operated QF37, the 1655 hours 'second division' MEL-SIN airborne at 1732, arriving at gate 23 minutes early at 2142.

However this aircraft did not depart SIN: it remained overnight.

QF36, the 1940 hours SIN-MEL is delayed overnight to an expected pushback at 1300 hours on Friday 19 December with suggested MEL gate arrival at about 2340 hours instead of the timetabled 0615 hours, 1040 minutes late. With a quick look I couldn't find any QFi or QFd A332-operated cancellations for today out of MEL, but one may later display.

As often occurs, other QFi aircraft arriving in SIN undertook the return flight to another Australian destination.

QF104 HNL- SYD 10:45 18th Dec departure delayed due to engineering issues. Now departing at 08:15 19th Dec. Our daughter and family are on this flight. The good news is Qantas has provided accommodation, food and travel costs.

On Friday 19 December 2025, QF7 (1405 hours SYD-DFW, A388 VH-OQB) is estimated to depart an hour late.

A332 VH-EBJ is operating QF35 (1205 hours lunchtime MEL up to SIN). It was in the final stages of taxiing as at 1345 AEDT. It had only arrived in MEL at 1026 hours as QF38 from SIN. Note above how QF36 was delayed overnight from SIN.

QF104 HNL- SYD 10:45 18th Dec departure delayed due to engineering issues. Now departing at 08:15 19th Dec. Our daughter and family are on this flight. The good news is Qantas has provided accommodation, food and travel costs.

This aircraft is A333 VH-QPI, (obviously) still in HNL.

At which hotel were they accommodated, @Bolthead ?

Updating from two posts above, QF7 has been further delayed with pushback claimed to be at the odd time of 1703 hours.

Sister aircraft A388 VH-OQK is rostered on QF11, the 1745 hours SYD-LAX forecast to push back at 1820 hours.
