On Monday 7 May 2018, CA177, the overnight from PVG down to MEL (A332 B-6533) should arrive at about 0850, 45 minutes late as at 0826 it remained in a holding pattern above Bendigo and Heathcote, Vic.

 

[Melburnian1]

Friday 11 May 2018's CA165 (0105 hours PEK down to MEL, A333 B-8383) did not take off until 0809, so it may have some very tired and grumpy tourists on board.

MEL arrival is expected at 2142 tonight, 307 minutes late. This flight has a long turnaround in MEL so its return, CA166, the 2000 hours may be able to depart at around the 2310 hours mark back to PEK.
