Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

With yesterday's late departure of QF11 as noted above, A388 VH-OQL arrived in LAX on Tuesday 14 July at 1638 hours, 128 minutes late.

Its scheduled late night 2330 hours return flight, QF12, did not take off until 0127 hours on Wednesday 15, so Thursday 16 gate arrival in Sydney should be about 0850 hours, 80 minutes late.

Continuing with Thursday 16 July 2026, QF67, the 0905 hours SYD-BLR (A332 VH-EBR) had been expected to depart at 1000 hours but had not done so by 1009. The aircraft has been in Sydney for 24 hours so not sure why the delay.

A333 VH-QPG on the timetabled 1010 hours SYD-HKG (QF127) is forecast to push back at 1100. The plane has been in Sydney since arriving at 1718 hours yesterday afternoon as QF26 from HND. As @tomlee1986 has noted, there's a lot of late running on the MEL and SYD to/from HKG routes of QFi. Yet major competitor CX, while not perfect, is more punctual.

Remember I did say the QFi A333 fleet is aging and tend to break down more frequently over time
