That’s because they couldn’t land in the restricted 0500-0600 window due to strong southerly winds. If they turn up and can’t land from the south then they have to wait.

Another day, another QF HKG A333 delay on 127 from SYD- this time is QPC despite arriving early from Jakarta overnight, the morning 1010 flight to HKG is delayed to 1102 pushback - and the last 2 days, it is Gate 26, I heard it is LCC gates... I wonder does this have an impact for such delays...

@Melburnian1

Update - took off at 1126 and now ETA is 1831

And another bad news for QF HKG flights, the 29 from MEL is also severely delayed on QPH - original 1015 departure is now delayed to 1135 minimum despite arriving early from SIN overnight on QF 36

In another A330 QFi delay on Monday 6 July, A333 VH-QPL on the 1020 hours SYD-SIN QF81 was only in the early stage of taxiing in Sydney as at 1151 hours.

Sister -QPC, @tomlee1986 , should arrive HKG on QF127 (ex SYD) at about 1838 hours in the early evening, 43 minutes late as it took off at 1126.

Flagship QF1, the 1445 hours SYD-SIN-LHR is expected to depart half an hour late.

UPDATE: QF81 was airborne at 1206 hours with SIN gate arrival likely at around 1840 hours, 105 minutes behind schedule.

QF 29 on QPH took off at 1209 and ETA according to QF site - the now arrival time is 1910 instead of 1755 - this will mean BOTH return flights from HKG WILL be delayed - it is by how much

In more on Monday 6 July, QF59 (1115 hours SYD-HND) was in the sky at 1217 with A333 VH-QPD, so anticipated gate arrival becomes 2053 hours, 43 late.

I wonder are these QF A330 delays for overworked and aging aircraft?? with 4 A333 delayed like this - I know 2 are midlife ones but QPC and QPD are over 20 years old
