This will also significant delay the Sunday evening scheduled QF12 (2125 hours LAX-SYD) that has been altered to depart at a hoped for 0955 hours on Monday 26, 750 minutes late. Forecast gate arrival becomes 2000 hours on Tuesday instead of 0725, so 755 late. Let's hope QFi can get this bird up in the air as rescheduled given otherwise it may have to be further delayed...

This has been further put back to a proposed QF12 (D) pushback at 1045 hours in LAX on Monday 26 January at 1045 hours with Tuesday 27 arrival becoming 2050 hours.
QF 7 cancelled today. Neil Perry is not a happy chappy in the Syd F lounge

Will QF provide Mr Perry with a chartered long range private plane instead?
 
Due to weather (snow) I believe, even though QF21 is operating.

Weather conditions vary, but one keeps reading of massive snowstorms in much of eastern USA, so a tad surprising that the Sunday 25 QF7 only arrived DFW 85 late, so it managed to operate unlike on 24 and 26 January.

Looks like the QF8 25/1 is cancelled. So, the QF7 26/1 is cancelled so the QF8 on 26/1 can bring the aircraft back.
 
The Sunday 25 January QF12 that was delayed overnight departed LAX at 1101 hours on Monday 26, with Tuesday 27 forecast for 2034 hours, 789 minutes late.

So far, it doesn't seem any A380 QFi flights ex SYD today are delayed.
 
An interesting aircraft change last night at SIN. QF1 from SYD (OQA) turned around and operated QF2 back to SYD instead of continuing on to LHR.

The QF2 from LHR (OQH) turned around as QF1 back to LHR.

This delayed the QF2 by 4 hours.
 
Continuing with Tuesday 27 January 2026, newbie flight QF65 (1330 hours PER-JNB, A332 VH-EVB) took off at 1647 hours so gate arrival should be about 2121 mid evening, 151 minutes late.

I've not monitored every occasion this flight has operated but it's the first time I've seen a delay.

No Mr Perry was not provided with a special ride, he was still there hours later as they were moving people onto other QF flights
