Qantas Delays/Cancellations

From above

Should have been obvious 5 minutes after landing (or 15 minutes before) the A220 could not use the an airbridge. So go and get some manual stairs from Air NZ over at AKL domestic. Should be in the planning for diversions, CHC may have been no better. The NZ govt bureaucracy would not have helped.

Given Auckland Airport is a publicly listed company (including on the ASX), what does 'NZ govt bureaucracy' have to do with it? Air NZ is also publicly listed.
 
Also on Sunday 28 June 2026, QF7, the 1200 'high noon' SYD to DFW with A388 VH-OQB did not take off until 1327 hours, so same day gate arrival should be 1300, half an hour late.

A332 VH-EBR is on QF43, the afternoon 1620 hours SYD-DPS in the sky at 1741 for a 2154 hours gate arrival forecast, 64 minutes late.
