Qantas Delays/Cancellations

On Tuesday 15 April 2025, QF26, the 0655 hours daytime HND to SYD boarded in time for a punctual departure but the Captain then announced there was a light on the dashboard indicating a fault.

As at 0815 Japan time (0915 AEST), passengers and crew remained onboard while the plane is attended to. Aircraft is A333 VH-QPE.

UPDATE: Takeoff was at 0911 Japan time. SYD arrival at gate is estimated as 1934, 94 minutes late.
Not sure if impacted, but the flight to HND from SYD is now pushed back to 2100 departure instead of 2030... I expect that to be delayed unless QF decides to swap aircrafts at the last minute

Also the arrival time is now 1950 instead of original delay of 1934 :(

I wonder why this aircraft spent Sat night through Monday night sitting at SYD.
 
Quick update on QF25 to HND tonight on QPE- now delayed to 2215 departure… hope enough time to beat curfew of 2300

Edit: actual take off time is 2246 - 2hr 15 delay and ETA IS 0803 instead of 0525

A333 VH-QPE is naturally again late on its third consectutive QF26 that on Wednesday 16 April took off from HND at 0919 so gate arrival in SYD tonight looks to be 1936 hours, 96 minutes tardy and similar to last night.

Lets see if they will swap to another aircraft to end this consecutive delay on this routing...

Also on QF 127 to HKG from SYD on QPD took off at 1123 - 63 mins late and according to current update at 1330 AEST- 20 mins late but hope they can make up time in the air.

Edit: Good news - now just within 15 mins late... that's a great catch up in the air with the speed for QF 127
