For those that are waiting for CX171 to Perth (30/06 HKG Departure) - the flight just departed 1657 HKT instead of 1455 HKT, & should face around 90 mins to 2 hour delay in arriving into Perth because of using the LHR CX256 as the inbound flight to HKG - Plane is B-LXB A35K...

Monday 17 July 2023's CX101, the 2355 hours late night redeye from HKG to SYD (B773ER B-KQL) did not take off until 0104 on Tuesday 18 so arrival should be at 1132 hours, 42 late. Fortunately CX100 back doesn't have a scheduled pushback until 1415 this afternoon, again showing the value of greater than minimum turnarounds at temini.

i think it is related to the aftermath of the storm earlier in the day

Cathay Pacific has a pretty good punctuality and reliability record, ahead of Qantas'.

However on Friday 21 July 2023 with SYD again down to using only the east-west runway, CX101 from HKG down to SYD (B773ER B-KPI) is arriving at 1125 hours, 35 minutes late. As CX100 returning isn't scheduled out until 1415 this afternoon, it could well push back on time, although if single runway ops remain, expect it to be delayed in the queue.

On Friday 11 August 2023, CX101 from HKG to SYD (B773ER B-KQK) should arrive at about 1206 hours, 76 behind.

These are tentative cancellations and there are other flights impacted! All are related to "Pilot illness" - but a HK aviation blog is saying it has to do with flying hours exceeded for the year!

Will this affect other airlines using the same engines?

That I dont know and hope there is more information released publicly soon....

 

[aaa99]

is this only the A350-1000 that is affected? I have some flight later in the week from MEL, but on the A350-900

Both A359 and A35K. At the moment it looks like cancellations extend until tomorrow, to facilitate remediation work on affected engines.

Seems to be a selection of A350s than the entire fleet.
This one seems to have just departed HKG.

Now it is extended to the weekend - also if travelling to HK - typhoon is here… no major impact as yet but who knows with weather
