On Friday 24 March, MF803, the redeye from XMN down to MEL (B788 B-2761) should arrive at 1033, 48 minutes tardy.
 
On Friday 7 April 2017, B788 B-2769 on MF807, the 2145 hours Thursday 6 April that took off at 2254 hours should arrive at 1007, 52 minutes late in SYD, ex FOC.
 
Good Friday 14 April 2017 sees MF803, an overnight from XMN to MEL that was airborne 63 minuets after its scheduled 2200 hours pushback on Thursday 13, arriving at 0956, 41 late with modern B788 B-2763.
 
Thursday 27 April has MF801 (B788 B-2769) likely to arrive SYD at 1037, 82 minutes late. This flight originated in XMN.
 
B788 B-2761 on the overnight MF807 from FOC to SYD is likely to arrive 39 minutes late at 0954 on Friday 19 May 2017. As the returning MF808 is not timetabled to depart until 1115 hours, it should be able, touch wood, to depart on or extremely close to time. This flight only operates thrice weekly and is one of a growing number of a relatively new 'city pairs' between hitherto unserved mainland Chinese cities and east coast Australia, with SYD followed by MEL as the most popular destinations for these mainland Chinese airlines.

MF803 from XMN down to MEL (B-2768) is estimated to arrive at 1106, 111 minutes tardy. The return flight MF804 is scheduled to depart at 1120 so expect it to be at least an hour late in pushing back. This is only a twice weekly flight.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of travellers on board MF and similar airlines were Australian. One would suggest it would be quite low - five to 10 per cent - but depending on the relative attractiveness of fares and connections offered to Europe or elsewhere in Asia, it could be growing.

A problem for these smaller mainland Chinese carriers may be lack of awareness among Australians that they are even a travel option, but low fares on third party websites may help with that.
 
Sunday 28 May 2017 has MF802 (1115 hours late morning SYD - XMN that took off at 1214 hours) likely to arrive at 1927 tonight, 32 late. B789 B-7838 has the task.
 
Friday 2 June sees MF803, the overnight XMN - MEL (B788 B-2768) that was airborne at 0005 hours despite a Thursday 1 timetabled departure of 2200 hours likely to arrive at 1037, 82 minutes behind schedule. The 1120 hours returning MF804 may be able to depart from 1150 onwards.
 
A week after the previous post, Friday 9 June has MF803 again delayed with likely arrival of B788 B-2763 at 0959 hours, 44 minutes late. The 1120 hours returning flight to XMN, MF804 should be almost on time departing assuming all goes well during the turnaround.
 
On what was earlier a foggy morning in Sydney, Thursday 14 June, MF801 from XMN down to SYD (B788 B-2762) should arrive at 1007, 52 late.
