Excellent… I’m on VA95 this afternoon and the same aircraft VH-8II was scheduled for that flight.

Sydney rain isn't helping timekeeping on Friday 12 December 2025.

VA640, the 1035 hours SYD-CBR operated by Link Airways' VH-VEM, a SAAB 340B was yet to take off as at 1212 hours when it ought have arrived in Canberra almost 45 minutes previously.

Well it looks like 143 is cancelled and so is the return 146.

Flightradar24 has 8II removed from VA95 but VAs own flight status system still shows it for now.

Flight radar tends to automatically remove all subsequent flights after the cancelled one. Usually takes a while for them to reappear.

8II is still allocated to VA95.

It was an FMC that failed. Because the use of GPS approaches is mandatory into (and out of) ZQN they need both FMCs to be operational to commence the approach. Good idea to return to MEL in my opinion.
