Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

You missed the QF34 PER SYD originally from Paris on ZNH (B789) - took off at 1240 instead of 1135, ETA is 1917 instead of 1840

A large number of aircraft are holding in various locations given the single runways ops in Sydney.

QF34 had been further delayed with gate arrival for B789 VH-ZNH now 2004 hours, 84 minutes late, as it had two holds, the first above Bowing and Yass, the second above Goulburn. The B789 is meant to form QF73, the 2125 hours mid evening flight to SFO so that hasn't a hope of departing on time.

QF73 estimated to be 20 minutes late for departure, should aim for on time arrival

Lucky us. Our replacement flight QF408 to SYD has now been delayed by an hour. So far!

When there's significant disruption as seen with Friday 27 Match's single runway operations at Sydney all day and into the night, plus windy and rainy weather in Melbourne, aircraft may be out of position.

On Friday, B738 VH-VXE stayed the night in CBR, so on Saturday, it had to operate empty - 'ferry' - flight QF6102, arriving in SYD at 1009 hours.

It then formed QF433, the 1005 hours SYD down to MEL airborne at 1152, arriving at 1309 hours, 89 minutes late and then QF438, the 1320 hours back to SYD that took off at 1436 with forecast gate arrival of 1546, 71 late.

QF93 (A388 VH-OQJ, the 1200 'high noon' MEL-LAX was not airborne until 1422 hours so gate arrival should be 1026 hours same day, 121 minutes late.

Friday 27's QF21 (1605 hours MEL-DFW) was delayed by 22 hours, being rescheduled as a 1400 hours Saturday 28 departure that took off at 1505. B789 VH-ZNE should arrive at about 1434, more than an hour late.

QF1602/1603 will be cancelled for the forseeable future due to LEA airport being obliterated.

On Sunday 29 March, QF35 (1305 hours MEL-SIN) was estimated to depart at 1440 hours, but this was subsequently altered to a 1515 hours estimate.

QF7 has only taken off once prior to 1400 in the last week. On Sunday 26, this 1300 hours scheduled flight was in the sky at 1446 with A388 VH-OQL so gate arrival - same day - should be about 1345 hours, 75 late.

VH-0OQD is on QF64, delayed due to yesterday's tardy QF63, with 'the 64' arriving in SYD (ex JNB) at gate at 1557, 87 minutes late.

Overnight on Sunday 29 March, A388 VH-OQD operated what would normally be an empty flight, QF6001, from SYD to NGO in Japan, arriving on Monday 30 at 0642 hours, 49 minutes late.

It is now running QF301 from NGO to LHR but by 1543 AEDT had yet to become airborne. Is this a special for a group?

QF35 (A332 VH-EBB, the 1305 hours MEL-SIN on 30 March was in the sky at 1443 with gate arrival forecast as 1912 hours, 57 behind.

That is a odd combination - Nagoya is not a Qantas destination even in Japan... I wonder what is happening there as well

It’s an F1 charter. Then leaves LHR Monday night their time as QF32 to SIN and SYD.
