A fair swathe of Victoria and southeast South Australia have had a dump of rain overnight (that is continuing on the morning of Thursday 16 November) with Mildura for instance recording 54.2 millimetres so ZL flights are late.
VH-RXX on ZL3554, the 0630 hours BWT - MEL took off at 0748 hours. Arrival is expected at 0854 hours, 69 late.
ZL3653, the 0630 hours MQL - MEL (VH_TRX) is worse as it was not in the sky until 0808; arrival has become a predicted 0932 hours, 102 minutes late.
The early morning WGA - MEL ZL3257, the 0645 hours took off at 0847, so VH-OLL should arrive at 0935 hours, 95 minutes behind time.
The 0815 hours MEL - MQL, ZL3656, is expected to depart at 0910 hours. ZL3152, the 0825 hours to ABX should be off blocks at 1010, making it a day when for a CBD to CBD trip the 0830 hours XPT train ex Southern Cross would be faster.
ZL3763 (0835 hours MEL - MGB) is suggested as departing an hour late, while ZL3557 (0845 hour MEL down to BWT) is not expected to commence its trip until 1020 hours. ZL3258 from MEL to WGA, the 0900 hours should depart 70 late.
