Last minute delay announced for QF82 (notified around 5pm), 14 hour delay expected from 9pm 3 May to 11am 4 May.

Inbound aircraft QF81 was pretty much on time.

It looks like A388 VH-OQC is to operate QF11, the 1750 hours late afternoon SYD-LAX optimistically altered to depart tonight at 2220 hours.

QF82 arrived SYD at 2010, not 2029. 130 minutes for an A380 turnaround is unlikely in Sydney: generally takes longer.

QF11 was able to take off at 2238 - maybe the late night departure was the saviour of close to updated departure as possible??

Got this message re SYD on the QF app today. FR24 indicates the cross runway (07 25 IIRC) is being used at the moment.

Can I ask in such situations, if my arriving flight into another port will mean missing my connection with another airline, what are my options?

On Friday 8 May 2026, QF27 (B789 VH_ZNG), the 1220 hours SYD across to SCL took off at 1402 hours so arrival same day should be at about 1139, 49 late.

QF19 (1225 hours SYD up to MNL, A332 VH-EBM for the second day running) was airborne at 1401. Gate arrival is for4ecast for 2010 hours, 80 late.

The 1115 hours SYD-HND in Japan took off at 1310 so gate arrival becomes 2135 hours, 85 minutes tardy for A333 VH-QPB.

A333 VH-QPG is on QF127, the scheduled 1010 hours SYD-HKG airborne at 1207 with gate arroval about 1914, 79 minutes tardy.

A388 VH_OQD is on QF7, the 1200 'high noon' SYD-DFW in the sky at 1333 hours. Arrival looks to be 1310, 40 behind.

Presumably these delays were due to single runway ops. Tonight SYD is back to using the two main runways.
