MEL seems to be on single runway ops. At face value, weather is benign.

Luckily the longer north/south runway is being used atm…

On Monday 2 February 2026, the overnight QF103 from SYD up to HNL (A333 VH-QPK) arrived 26 minutes late at 0926 hours. In a familiar routine, the return QF104 lost time on the ground at Honolulu airport, with this 1045 hours scheduled offering not airborne until 1210. Tuesday 3 gate arrival at SYD should be 1915 hours tonight, 55 late.

Also on Monday 2, QF3 from AKL to JFK arrived at gate at 1503 hours, 38 late with B789 VH-ZNG. It should (touch wood) be ounctual or early on the return as timetabled departure is not until 1715, a 170 minute scheduled fairly generous turnaround.

QF 30 arrived late into MEL this morning at 0831 instead of 0750 despite departing HKG reasonably on time - checked flightradar 24 - there was a TOGA event happened at the first landing.

Thu 5 Feb QF64, JNB-SYD (A388 VH-OQA) departed on time but diverted to MEL when northeast of MEL, landing some 40 mins later. After spending approx 100 mins on the ground it continued on to SYD, arriving 1752, some 200 mins late. Medical diversion?
