On Thursday 4 April 2019, CX111 from HKG to SYD has A333 B-LAK and is arriving at 0821 hours, 66 minutes late. The 0835 hours CX110 will be delayed in pushback until at least 0930 hours.
 
Sunday 14 April's 0010 hours just after midnight scheduled CX105 from HKG down to MEL (A333 B-HLQ) took off at 0218 so arrival is likely at 1259 hours, 109 late. The 1420 hours MEL - HKG CX104 will be pretty much on minimum turnaround time to try to be punctually off its blocks. About the best seen at any airport for an aircraft of this size is 70 minutes, but most appear to take at least 80.
 
On Easter Saturday (20 April), CX110 (0735 hours morning SYD to HKG, A333 B-LAP) did not become airborne until 0922. Deferred arrival is 1606, 46 late.

Later, CX162 (A333 B-LAP, the 1015 hours midmorning next SYD - HKG, up up and away at 1148) should arrive at 1853, 48 late.

CX170 (Easter Saturday 20 April 2019, the redeye 2355 hours PER up to HKG up up and away at 0346 on Easter Sunday) should arrive at 1059 hours, 194 late with A359 B-LRC.

The HKG down to SYD CX148 (A333 B-HLS) is arriving at 0952 hours, 62 late.

The 1905 hours HKG - MEL redeye (CX135, Sunday 21 April) took off at 2101 so on Monday 22, A369 B-LRL should arrive at 0741, 91 late. This means that CX134 back, the 0730 hours ex MEL, will be delayed until at least 0855 in pushback.
 
Sunday 28 April 2019 has CX177 from HKG down to ADL suggested as arriving at its gate at about 1130, half an hour tardy. Aircraft is A333 B-LAK.
 
A359 B-LRI on CX134, the 0730 hours morning MEL - HKG took off at 0845, so arrival is predicted 34 late at 1539 hours mid afternoon. The delay was because redeye CX135 arrived MEL on Saturday 4 May 2019 at 0653 hours, 43 late.
 
CX105 (0010 hours HKG to MEL) on Sunday 5 May (A333 B-LAK) took off at 0221 so the result is an expected 1235 hours, 85 late arrival early this afternoon. As CX104 returning to HKG is not due to depart until 1420, the plane should have sufficient time to turn around and punctually depart (though not with a huge margin).
 
CX171 from HKG down to PER, the mid afternoon 1450 hours took off at 1620 with A359 B-LRJ. Arrival should be at 2330 hours, 55 late.
 
A359 B-LRT on CX134, the 0730 hours MEL - HKG on Monday 27 May took off at 0852 with suggested arrival as 1548, 43 late. The redeye flight CX135 has arrived in MEL this morning at 0548 hours, 22 minutes early so something went awry on the ground.
 
CX101 (Friday 31 May, the late night redeye at 2355 hours from HKG to SYD, B773ER B-KQF) took off on Saturday 1 June at 0123 hours. Arrival is expected at 1147 hours, 57 minutes tardy.
 
Thursday 13th of June saw CX163 HKG-MEL (B777 B-KQR) depart at 15 11, with arrival at 1 33, 208 tardy. This impacted the return leg CX178 MEL-HKG which was airborne at 3 03, arrival is now predicted at 9 50, 165 min behind schedule.
 
CX104, the 1420 hours Friday 14 June MEL - HKG is delayed until 1100 hours on Saturday 15, so out of towners may have a hotel provided STPC (by the airline.)
 
All due to yesterdays bad weather in HK.

We thank you for your understanding and patience
 
A359 B-LRA on CX157, Wednesday 19 June 1310 hours HKG down to BNE was not in the sky until 1459. Arrival is therefore a suggested 0049 on Thursday 20, 69 late. This will delay departure of CX156, the 0055 hours back as a redeye to HKG until at least 0200 hours.
