AirAsiaX Delays/Cancellations

That flight plan must get submitted. So as long as ATC knows when you plan to depart, your route, planned speed and altitude, it is OK. How does a flight crew know whether their flight plan will conflict with another?

They don't, nor do they care. Separating aircraft is ATC's job. They'll do it with altitude and speed control once you get going.

There's no suggestion Oz flights in and out of KUL are affected but this is for information:

Medical diversion?

Medical diversion?

Unsure, but probably the most likely of the differentials.

Pleasing to see them go there, after what I thought was a pretty disgraceful effort a couple of years ago, after they diverted away from Alice with an engine out.

On Saturday 15 February 2020, D7201, the scheduled 1050 hours mid to late morning OOL - KUL (A333 9M-XXV) did not take off until 1646 hours, so arrival should be at 2248 late tonight local time, 338 minutes tardy. The aircraft had arrived four minutes early at 0931 hours this morning in OOL.

 

[Melburnian1]

D7226, the 1945 hours SYD - KUL on Sunday 16 January 2022 has been given the flick.

 

[Melburnian1]

D7228 is showing on the SYD airport site as timetabled in from KUL on Tuesday 15 March 2022 at 0630 hours, although FR24 suggests this is 1130, and that it's only 17 minutes late, with A333 9M-XXZ as the aircraft.

Whatever, SYD suggests that the proper departure time for D7229 (SYD to KUL) is '0830 hours' but this is estimated to become 1230.

 

[Melburnian1]

D7228 (Tuesday 29 March 2022, the 0630 hours early morning arrival in SYD from KUL) was cancelled.

 

[Melburnian1]

D7225, the 0715 hours SYD - KUL on Tuesday 12 April 2022 is another cancellation.

 

[Melburnian1]

D7224, the 0615 hours SYD Easter Monday 18 April 2022 arrival was cancelled so the return flight to KUL on Tuesday 19 will also be.

 

[Melburnian1]

Updating the previous post, while on Tuesday 19 April 2022 D7225 (0715 hours SYD - KUL) has got the flick, another flight, D7229 at a scheduled 0915 hours ex SYD is operating. However A333 9M-XXQ on D7228 arrived SYD this morning at 0717, 47 minutes late, so departure of 'the 229' is predicted as 35 minutes late at 0950 hours.

 

[Melburnian1]

D7225 (Thursday 21 April 2022, the 0715 hours early morning SYD - KUL) is another receiving the flick.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Tuesday 7 June 2022, D7229 (0915 hours morning SYD - KUL) has been cancelled.

 

[Melburnian1]

Tuesday 30 August 2022 finds D7229, the 0915 hours SYD up to KUL cancelled.

 

[Melburnian1]

A333 9M-XXZ on D7220, the 0005 hours from KUL down to SYD on Monday 19 September took off at 0038. Arrival at gate is likely at around 1030 hours, 40 minutes behind schedule.
