Air New Zealand Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

Monday 3rd of Dec sees again a late departure of NZ124 MEL-AKL 12 10 service, which was until 13 25, 75 min behind schedule. Arrival is suggested for 18 12, 27 behind schedule (ZK-OKO)....

In the last week, this flight has been more than 15 minutes late arriving in AKL every day, and some days, as Silvia suggests, far worse.

I only looked at a sample of three days: delay looks to be in MEL between an on time NZ123 arrival and a tardy taking off NZ124.

It's at an off peak time of the day (c.1230 hours) so I wonder why?

And also interesting as this is a key flight as Melbourne passengers would use this to connect through the evening US bound and South American flights. I had a client on the Sunday flight. She luckily made it to her final destination but had a stressful time.

NZ842 SYD-WLG departed until 20 48. Arrival is predicted to 1 36, 106 behind. (ZK-OJB)

Tuesday 4th of dec sees ZK-OKR struggling. Firstly NZ123 AKL-MEL 8 50 service did not depart until 13 59, 309 late. Landed until 15 36, 281 min very behind. This has caused another delay on NZ124 MEL-AKL12 10 service, which has been frequently delayed over the last week. It recently took off at 17 17, arrival is expected until 22 27, 282 behind schedule.,

Also, ZK-OKE has been behind the last 2 trans tasman legs. NZ105 AKL-SYD 16 05 service left until 17 16, arriving until 18 30, 50 tardy. Ths had a flow effect on NZ108 SYD-AKL 18 55 service which did not take off until 20 10, arrival is predicted at 00 46, 47 behind.

NZ930 OOL- AKL 10 05 service was cancelled.
NZ136 BNE-AKL 11 15 service was cancelled.
NZ104 SYD-AKL 11 50 service also cancelled.

NZ842 SYD-WLG 18 35 service diverted back to SYD shortly after take off (ZK-OJM). This has consequently cancelled WLG-SYD 6 35 service for tomorrow.

Is it me, or Air NZ are not having the best week trans tasman speaking?
