Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[tomlee1986]

A332 VH-EBA that ran empty from ADL to MEL on Christmas Day as QF6004 appears to be undertaking another test flight, this time on Saturday 27 as QF6106. It flew down to Bass Strait and then back to MEL via Foster and Cape Paterson.

better to test the aircraft intensively then have further issues with passengers on board

Also on Saturday 27 December 2025, QF93, the 1200 'high noon' MEL-LAX was not airborne until 1414 so same day gate arrival should be about 0900 hours, 95 minutes late.

OH-LTM appears to have spent an additional unscheduled night in SIN as it the QF292 SIN-SYD was cancelled last night, and this has also affected Saturday's (27 December) QF291 SYD-SIN as well.

There may be an on-going issue with LTM in Singapore as tonight's QF292 SIN-SYD has also been cancelled, which will in turn affect tomorrow's (28 December, Sunday) QF291 SYD-SIN.

Quick update - no one seemed to know this one - Qf169 from MEL to CHC departed at 2010 instead of 1850 - now it will be just under 1 hr late on arrival to 0101 instead of 0010 - aircraft is XZP (retro 737 livery)

One I missed on Saturday 27 December was QF105, the recently introduced MEL-HNL timetabled to depart at 1640 hours but which did not take off with A332 VH_EBN until 2135, arriving HNL at gate same day at 1020 hours, 245 minutes behind schedule. The aircraft formed QF106, the 0815 hours in the sky at 1243 with consequent Sunday 28 forecast arrival at gate becoming 2100 hours, 260 late.

QF112 from Auckland to Perth has diverted and just landed in Sydney. At 9.58am AEDT Operated by VH-EBS (oneworld livery).

Looks like the same aircraft is due to continue the flight onto Perth leaving Sydney at 10.45am AEDT, so suspect medical?

On Tuesday 30 December 2025, QF104 from HNL down to SYD (A333 VH-QPL, one of its two dry leased aircraft from Finnair) should arrive at gate at around 1911 hours, 51 late.
