Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

On Sunday 21 December 2025, QF63, the scheduled 0930 hours midmorning SYD-JNB is expected to push back at 1100. A388 VH-OQB should operate it, having arrived from DFW as QF8 in SYD at 0701 hours, six minutes late.

QF20 ex MNL arrived SYD this morning at 0938 hours, 178 minutes late: inevitable given how delayed QF19 yesterday was ex SYD.

UPDATE: By 1140 AEDT, the expected departure delay to today's QF63 became pushback at 1300 hours.

The A380 time keeping has been pretty bad lately, presumably the unplanned mx of OQC is having an impact.

The delayed Sunday 21 December QF63 took off from SYD at 1327 hours with A388 VH-OQB likely to arrive at gate at 1807 hours, 187 minutes late. The 1730 hours Sunday overnight JNB-SYD QF64 is unlikely to depart prior to 2030 hours, so SYD arrival tomorrow may be after 1600 hours.

A333 VH-QPJ is operating QF59, the 1200 'high noon' SYD-HND airborne at 1305 hours with gate arrival suggested as 34 late at 2034 hours.

Possibly due to a severe thunderstorm that's passed over MEL, QF443 from SYD to MEL (A321 VH-OGB, the 1230 hours in the sky at 1250) had a missed approach a few minutes ago. It then had an unusual flying pattern above Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It eventually arrived at its gate at 1443 hours, 38 late.
