Qantas Delays/Cancellations

QF11 left late and just did a wonderful fly-past over Balmoral beach at around 4000+ ft

QF7 on Saturday 10 January from SYD to DFW was changed again, being expected to depart at 2010. As at 2020, it hadn't become airborne.

UPDATE: A388 VH-OQB took off at 2046 hours. FR24 claims arrival at gate becomes 2145, 555 minutes late. This seems a big overestimate. I've noticed recently that initially, FR24 can exaggerate delays for forecast arrivals, especially the longer distance flights. Often it corrects this during the flight. I don't know why the apparent mistake.

The only thing that I can think of is perhaps QF have given up on waitng for things to cool down sufficiently and are now going to do a fuel stop somewhere?

On Sunday 11 January 2026, QF79, the 0925 hours MEL-NRT (A333 VH-QPE) is estimated to shortly depart 65 minutes late at 1030 hours.

The 0930 hours SYD-JNB (QF63, A388 VH_OQK) is 'identical' in that its pushback should be at 1035, also 65 late.
