A380 woes continue

QF93 MEL to LAX for 5 Oct delayed from 09:45 to 15:00 and counting. Apparently engineering still doing something or other with the plane -OQD

As per Cpt it needed some seals replaced in the wings. And there were some screws that were resistant to change. Now 15:57 and we are doing the safety demo so should push back soon

A388 VH-OQD on 'the 93' was airborne from MEL at 1617 hours with Monday 5 October gate arrival in LAX forecast as 1211 hours, 366 minutes late.

Separately, A333 VH-QPD on QF59, the scheduled 1215 hours SYD up to HND was airborne at 1326 with gate arrival tonight suggested as approximately 2048 hours, 38 minutes late.

Including today's, QF7, the A380 timetabled to depart SYD at 1200 'high noon' to DFW hasn't had good punctuality in its last eight outings. Today's should arrive DFW at 1302 hours, 32 late, but in this period, there have been two cancellations, Friday's arriving more than four hours behind schedule, Thursday's over 100 minutes late, and Wednesday's almost 80 minutes late arriving at gate.

QFi's flight status page is now showing the Monday 5 October SYD-SIN-LHR delayed to an expected 2230 hours very late night departure from Sydney.

This puts it in danger of missing curfew.

After a mere 2 hour turnaround, OQC has just made it out in time as QF1 from Sydney to Singapore https://fr24.com/QFA1/41fb03b0

Yes, minutes in it to curfew. No doubt relief onboard and elsewhere.
2 1/4 hours wheels on to wheels off is a solid effort.
