The storms that dumped slightly less than 50 millimetres of rain on MEL in an hour and a half around 1500 hours on Thursday 29 December have led to many delays and some cancellations.

EY463, the 1645 hours MEL - AUH has not been immune, taking off at 1820. Arrival on Friday 30 December should be at about 0120 hours, more than an hour late. B773ER A6-ETK is the aircraft.
 
On New Year's Day, EY450 from AUH should be at its designated SYD gate 70 minutes late at 0725 hours. The B773ER is A6-ETL.
 
Friday 6 January has EY450, the overnight from AUH (B773ER A6-ETK) likely to arrive SYD 42 minutes behind schedule at 0657.
 
Delayed by the severe afternoon of Friday 17 February 2017 Sydney storms, EY451 (1620 hours SYD - AUH, B773 ER A6-ETS) took off at 1746.
 
On Saturday 25 February, EY460 is again late, although not as much as last night. Arrival is expected at 1928, 33 minuets tardy. Aircraft is A380 A6-APC.
 
Ash Wednesday (1 March 2017) sees EY460 from AUH to MEL (A380 A6-APB) likely to arrive at 1930, 35 minutes late.

Somewhat north, EY454 (AUH - SYD, A6-APH) should arrive 31 late at 1946.
 
The Friday 10 March 2017 EY461 from MEL to AUH (due out at 2250 hours in the late evening, A380 A6-APG) appears to have been delayed overnight as it was in the sky at 0727 hours on Saturday 11. Consequent arrival should be at about 1419 this afternoon instead of 0625 hours.

A6-APA (a different A388) on EY460 on Thursday 9 ex AUH may have returned to AUH: I have not traced its flying pattern on FR24 or FlightAware. This may be why EY461 is so badly late today.

This may explain my EY461 tonight being changed to 77W :(
 
Friday 2 June 2017's EY484 ex AUH should arrive in BNE on Saturday 3 at around 1805, half an hour late. B789 A6-BLL has the task.
 
A potentially foggy morning in SYD on Monday 12 June 2017 sees EY450, the overnight from AUH (B773ER A6-ETM) likely to arrive at 0700, half an hour late.
 
Saturday 24 June 2017 sees EY460 from AUH down to MEL (A380 A6-APB) badly delayed with its 1750 hours very late afternoon scheduled arrival becoming an estimated 2138 hours. It took off from AUH at 0233 this morning despite a timetabled pushback commencement of 2205 on Friday 23. EY461, the 2215 hours ex MEL is expected to be delayed an hour. This is possible, but requires a tight turnaround and everything to go swimmingly.
