Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

On Saturday 11 April, A388 VH-OQA arrived in SYD at 0728 hours, two minutes early as QF12 from LAX but its next flight, the 0935 hours SYD across to JNB is expected to push back two hours late.

Now showing as a 3pm departure. 5.5 hours late.

Sydney is on one runway ops at the moment due to wind.

QF63 ended up beocming airborne at 1551 hours with JNB gate arrival for A388 VH-OQA likely at about 2136 hours, 311 minutes late.

Separately, the often delayed QF7 (scheduled 1200 'high noon' SYD-DFW, A388 VH-0QL) took off at 1354 so its gate arrival should be 1351 hours, 81 late.

After arriving in JNB on Saturday 11 April at 2128 hours, 303 minutes late, A388 VH-OQA took off from JNB at 0019 on Sunday 12. QF64 should arrive SYD at around 1951 hours, 296 late.

Its next roster is to LAX as QF11: this 1750 hours flight is showing as departing at 2100, a very optimistic forecast.

The Auckland Service QF3 is arriving 57 minutes late at 3.07pm NZ time.

I am concerned how they could connect with services to Pacific Islands.

QF 127 to HKG has no movement despite gate closed, and on QPD - I wonder how long the delay as well... @Flyerqf @LionKing @Melburnian1

Without having looked at your post, I was trying to work out the same thing. The QFi flight status is neutral and FlightAware and FR24 indicate the flight has yet to depart. A mystery as at 1155 AEST.

1505 is its landing time according to FR24. I always add an arbitrary five minutes for actual arrival at the gate - when the flight terminates - so this should be 1510 or so.

Most likely ATC Delays?
QF81 has just taken off which is 2 hours behind schedule and is arriving 30 minutes late.
I have concerns about whether those on QF81 will have sufficient time in Qatar Singapore lounge before their next KUL/HKG/CMB connections.

QF81 (A388 VH-OQH), the 1020 hours SYD-SIN took off at 1203 (about 75-80 minutes late) and should arrive at its SIN gate at 1751, 56 minutes tardy.

A333 VH-QPI is on QF23, the 0950 hours SYD up to BKK that took off at 1231 hours so gate arrival is estimated as 1838 hours, 118 minutes late.

Agree that ATC delays is a likely cause given the single runway only operations in Sydney.

QF23 has just left for Bangkok and is running 115 minutes late. I hope passengers in board will be able to reschedule their massage sessions if they have one tonight.
QF645 is arriving 85 minutes late.
QF127 is currently on the runway and will arrive up to 120 minutes late.
At least QF127 is not cancelled. This is the last day of Hong Kong's Golden Week, where many HKers are coming to Sydney to scout out life if they migrate and dig gold here.

In more on Sunday 12 April, QF1576 (A223 VH-X4A, the 0940 hours SYD-MCY) diverted back to SYD. after travelling north to west of Port Macquarie. By 1243 it was back on the ground in Sydney.

Took off at 1240,ETA is 1939 instead of 1755, let’s see which flight will it form… 128 to SYD or 30 to MEL

Update - looks like it is the 30 to MEL as return flight - schedule delay to 2110 instead of 2005 departure

With the ongoing problem in SYD of using a single runway, QF19 (1225 hours SYD up to MNL, A332 VH-EBS) took off at 1350 with gate arrival forecast for 1929, 39 late.

B789 VH-ZNE on QF27, the 1220 hours SYD-SCL pointed skywards at 1442 this afternoon with arrival likely at 1222 hours, 92 behind.

The 1115 hours SYD to HND in Japan, QF59, took off exactly two hours later with arrival suggested as 2138, 88 late for class leader A333 VH-QPA.

Flagship QF1 with A388 VH-OQG, the 1445 hours SYD-SIN-LHR was not in the sky until 1659 so SIN gate arrival should be about 2233 late tonight local time, 78 minutes behind schedule.

B738 VH-VZI as QF145,, the 1140 hours SYD-AKL took off at 1356, arriving at 1836 hours, 106 late.

QF139 (1915 hours SYD-CHC) is expected to depart 90 minutes late.
