Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

Later on 25 February, JQ604 (1245 hours lunchtime AVV - SYD that took off at 1406 hours, A320 VH-VQZ) is arriving at 1512, 62 late. It had lost time on the ground in ADL between JQ632 and JQ633 respectively from and to Avalon.
 
Also on 25 February, JQ58 from DPS down to BNE (B788 VH-VKE) has just reached Australia's coast near the Mitchell River National Park at 2100 AEDT so arrival is likely at 2352 AEST, 207 minutes behind schedule. The outbound flight was meant to depart BNE at 0720 this morning but took off at 1121 despite the aircraft having been stabled in Brisbane since 2008 last night.

Today is VKE's fourth day of operation on the JQ57/JQ58 roster.
 
JQ36, the 2315 hours Wednesday 27 February DPS down to MEL took off at 2349, about 15 late. On Thursday 28, B788 VH-VKK is arriving 31 late at 0821 hours.
 
JQ515 (the afternoon 1330 hours SYD down to MEL, A320 VH-VFH, that was in the sky at 1527) should arrive at 1643, 98 minutes late.

The 1500 hours mid afternoon from HBA up to MEL, JQ714, has A321 VH-VWZ. It took off at 1546 so arrival is estimated as 1655 hours, 35 late.

The late afternoon 1745 hours, Thursday 28 February SYD - DPS, JQ37 (B788 VH-VKB) was as at 1835 still taxiing in SYD, so will be at least half an hour late arriving at the Balinese airport.

A320 VH-VFI on the 1840 hours SYD - BNE (JQ820) was still doing the same at 2005 hours down 34R, so its deficit on arrival is likely to be at least 70 minutes.

VH-VWN (A321) on the OOL down to MEL JQ439, the 1455 hours, took off at 1758 with arrival suggested as 2106 hours, 171 late.

JQ797 (1635 hours MCY - MEL in the sky at 1757 hours) and the not far behind JQ569 (1640- hours BNE to MEL airborne at 1806) should respectively arrive at 2109, 69 late with VH-VGD and 2112, 67 late with VH-JQX.

JQ722 HBA-SYD unable to depart due to refuellers busy with firefighting aircraft.

The inbound 723 was delayed a bit so just waiting in the 39C heat currently with aircraft door open. Aircon packs on via APU

Should be underway shortly
 
On Sunday 3 March 2019, JQ436, the early afternoon 1310 hours from MEL up to OOL was in the sky at 1353. Arrival for A321 VH-VWN should be at 1445, 35 late. This aircraft arrived three minutes ahead of schedule on JQ560 (the 0700 hours MEL - BNE) this morning but was then 29 late arriving MEL on JQ563.

The 1455 hours OOL back down to MEL, JQ439 will be delayed as a result.
 
JQ971, the 0100 hours PER across to MEL Monday 4 March 2019 redeye (A320 VH-VFK) took off at 0136 hours. Arrival is 42 late at 0817 hours.
 
On Tuesday 5 March 2019, JQ742 (1730 hours LST up to MEL airborne at 1853) has A320 VH-VGY and is arriving at about 1955, 80 late.

Earlier, B788 VH-VKF on JQ17, the mid afternoon 1520 hours MEL - HKT took off at 1621, so predicted arrival has turned into half an hour behind schedule at 2040 hours.

JQ786 (Saturday 9 March 2019, the 1150 hours late morning SYD - MCY) was still in the middle stage of taxiing as at 1248 so A320 VH-VQC should be at least 45 late arriving.
 
Sunday 10 March 2019 finds JQ712 (A321 VH-VWT, the 1745 hours late afternoon HBA up to MEL that was airborne at 1847) suggested as arriving at 1957, 52 late.

JQ461 (1640 hours BNK to SYD, A320 VH-VGP) was in the sky at 1837, so delayed arrival is at 1947 hours, 102 late.

On Tuesday 12 March 2019, JQ502 (A320 VH-VFN), the 0720 hours MEL - SYD was still taxiing at 0802 so it will be at least half an hour late arriving.

Wednesday 13 March 2019 finds JQ769 (A320 VH-VQH, the 1945 hours ADL - SYD that took off at 2033) likely to arrive half an hour late at 2240 hours.

The 2045 hours mid evening JQ570 (VH-VQE) from MEL up north to BNE is worse, having become airborne at 2204, so arrival is suggested at 2258 late tonight, 58 minutes behind schedule.
 
JQ722 HBA-SYD (VH-VGU) is currently diverting to MEL due to poor weather in Sydney. It has been airborne since 17 35, so close to 3 hours.

I suspect you mean 'poor weather in Sydney' as the weather in Melbourne is (subjectively) beautiful.

JQ722, the 1900 hours MEL - SYD (That as Silvia points out is really a diverted flight meant originally as HBA - SYD) is estimated to depart at 2125 tonight with arrival at 2251, 261 minutes tardy. There are many other huge delays as it buckets down in Sydney.

JQ522, the 1955 hours departure on the same route has been cancelled.

Yes, and this is why Melbourne keeps beating Sydney. It's been a shocking summer for Sydney airport.

JQ608 AVV-SYD (A320 VH-VQQ) the 17 30 hours service has also diverted back to AVV.
 
On Friday 15 March 2019, JQ504, the 0810 hours MEL up to SYD is expected to depart at 1020, 130 minutes late.

The 0700 hours SYD across to ADL, JQ762 has been cancelled.

A321 VH-VWQ took off from MEL at 0621 bound for SYD as JQ7524, which may be an empty ('ferry') flight.

JQ501, first of the morning's scheduled SYD down to MEL at 0600 is far worse as departure is not expected until 1215 hours. Arrival should be at 1355 instead of 0735, 380 minutes late. This will be a result of last night's storms in Sydney with aircraft and crews out of position, including diversions that Silvia, I and others found.

JQ992 from SYD to CNS, the 0615 is terrible with push back expected at 1355 this afternoon for arrival at 1605 instead of 0820 hours, 465 late.

There has been significant rain over several hours of a total of at least 45mm in both Brisbane and Toowoomba with the Gold Coast also receiving a drenching on Friday 15 March 2019. JQ425 (1830 hours early evening OOL down to SYD) took off at 2043 so arrival should be at 2254 hours, 114 late.
