Hopefully it will help the minimise the delays across the A380 fleet in recent weeks.

B789 VH-ZND on Wednesday 14 January 2026 arrived in SYD six minutes late at 0641 hours as QF76 ex YVR in Canada.

It is forming the 1220 hours SYD-SCL (QF27) altered to (hopefully) depart at 1435, 135 minutes tardy.

A333 VH-QPF is operating QF29, the 1105 hours MEL-HKG forecast to depart at 1300 hours, after arriving in MEL at 1027 (162 minutes late) as QF80 from NRT. The background is that QF61 BNE-NRT was similarly delayed yesterday.

QF 29 took off at 1357, ETA at 1954- more than 2 hrs late

In more on Wednesday 14 January, QF27 from SYD was eventually airborne at 1455 with same day arrival likely at gate at 1258 hours, 123 minutes late.

This could see the return QF28 (the 1315 hours) pushing back at about 1445 hours. This flight usually picks up time in the air as the schedule has padding for normal wind conditions, similar to most international medium and long distance flights. At a guess, instead of the schedule tomorrow late afternoon 1740 arrival at gate, this could be around the 1830 hours mark if all goes well.

Unless sources such as FR24 and FlightAware are incorrect, it doesn't appear as at 0055 PST (for LAX)/1955 AEDT on Wednesday 14 January 2026 to have departed from the USA.

Update on the QPF doing the 29 MEL HKG, the return of the aircraft is 128 to SYD, ETD is scheduled to be 2115 instead of 1925, but the ETA of 29 is 1946, with taxi to gate - the new departure time is optimistic…

A333 VH-QPE as QF26 from HND to SYD on 14 January was running late as noted above: it arrived tonight at 2048 hours, 118 minutes late. It is returning to Haneda (Japan) tonight as QF25, the 2125 hours optimistically displaying as a forecast pushback at 2215 hours.

Correction- should be QPE

Morning update on QPF- QF128 HKG SYD took off much later than expected @ 0018 and ETA is 1206

Took off at 2309 - might have got pushback clearance before curfew?? And ETA is 0622 instead of 0525
