Saturday 18 November sees ZL853, the 0630 hours from BHQ that took off at 0826 (though FR24 maintains it was '0630') arriving in SYD at a suggested 1113 rather than 0920 hours.
 
The Tuesday 22 November ZL872 (1800 SYD across to BHQ that took off at 2029, VH-RXE) should arrive at 2143 hours, 103 minutes late.
 
ZL211, the early morning 0630 hours from BNK down to SYD has not had an impressive start to the day with takeoff at 0852. SAAB340B VH-ZRE should arrive at about 1022, 122 minutes late, but many aircraft from the north are holding on approach as SYD is very busy.
 
Later on 22 November, ZL783, the 1815 hours early evening SYD - ABX (VH-ZRB) that was airborne at 2042) should arrive in the 'border' at 2156 hours, 136 minutes late.
 
On Friday 23 November 2017, ZL3151, the 0655 hours ABX - MEL took off at 0720, about 15 minutes late with SAAB340B VH-RXX. However it has been in a hold above Eildon, Vic for quite a while so delayed arrival has become 0826 hours, 31 minutes late.
 
Delays have become extensive at MEL during the Friday 24 November mid evening due to significant storms.

ZL3286, the 1835 hours MEL - WGA took off at 1953 with VH-ZLO. Arrival should be at 2108, 83 minutes tardy.
 
Saturday 25 November has ZL517, the 0630 hours early morning from PKE to SYD (VH-ZXG) not having taken off until 0710. Consequently arrival is predicted for 0810 hours, 45 minutes tardy. Last night its previous flight, ZL534 diverted to BHS en route to PKE. Cause unknown.
 
Monday 4 December sees ZL456, the 0705 hours GFF - SYD (SAAB340B VH-RXS) that took off at 0721 (five minutes or so late, if that) arriving in SYD at 0941 hours, 126 minutes late after making an unscheduled intermediate stop at NRA.
