Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

Adding to Saturday 12 November delays, JQ758, the 1055 hours HBA - BNE that took off at 1143 should arrive at roughly 1310 hours, 35 minutes late. Aircraft is A320 VH-VGJ.

Sunday 13 November has been a late start for JQ677, the redeye 0110 hours from DRW down to MEL with takeoff at 0313 for a suggested 0844 instead of 0650 hours arrival. A320 VH-VQP is the aircraft.

This aircraft is forming the 0915 hours from MEL to SYD that should depart on time, but JQ774, the 0830 hours from MEL across to ADL and JQ794, the 1000 MCY-bound departure have been cancelled ex MEL.

JQ502, the 0725 hours MEL - SYD still had not departed at 0826 and neither had JQ792, the 0800 MEL - MCY.

While Sunday morning is not busy compared to the afternoon, nonetheless this late running early in the day does not assist with later flights being at or close to time, and if there is pressure on available tarmac spots due to the late arrivals, there is always the possibility that at busier airports such as MEL and SYD delays can compound.

Also on Sunday 13 November, the 0600 early start NTL to BNE, JQ480, must have had significant problems as A320 Vh-VQK took off at 1024. With the hour time difference, arrival should be at 1030 rather than 0625.

Tonight's JQ522, the 1940 hours MEL - SYD is already publicly showing at 1030 that it will not depart until 2020, so that is an example of day-long delays.

JQ630 (1010 hours from AVV up to OOL) was airborne at 1048; arrival of A320 VH-VFV should be at 1241, 31 late.

UPDATE: JQ517, the 1405 hours from SYD to MEL took off at 1457 with A321 VH-VWU. It should arrive at around 1620, 40 minutes behind time.

The 1155 hours from ADL across to SYD, JQ765 did not take off until 1332; arrival should be at 1546, 86 minutes tardy with A320 VH-VFX.

As at 1815 hours on Sunday 13 November, SYD appeared to only be using the east-west runway, not its favoured operational 'mode.'

JQ521 with A321 VH-VWT and up to 220 passengers was the 1725 hours SYD - MEL that did not take off until slightly after 1820, so given its arrival time in MEL is 1900 hours, it will be delayed at least 25 minutes in reaching the southern capital's terminal.

A320 VH-VQC on JQ416 (1730 hours SYD up to OOL) took off at 1840 in the early evening. Arrival should be at approximately 1855, 65 minutes delayed.

The 1740 hours from SYD down to HBA, A320 VH-VFK on JQ725 was not in the sky until about 1835. It should arrive at roughly 2017 hours, 42 minutes late. This is teh aircraft that as noted above this morning was 264 minutes tardy in departing from NTL at 1024 instead of 0600 hours for the run to BNE (JQ480). Cancellations and perhaps a change to rotations have allowed this aircraft to reduce its unpunctuality by about 80 per cent compared with its timetabled commencement this morning, but notably it is still late 12 hours after its initial flight today, although not as badly.

JQ756, the 1625 hours HBA - SYD took off at 1659. With A320 VH=VQA, it should arrive at about 1900, 50 minutes behind.

Behind it is JQ516, the 1620 hours from MEL to SYD that took off at 1731 late this afternoon using A321 VH-VWU. It should be at the allocated arrival gate at 1907 hours, 67 minutes tardy. A similar arrival time is in store for JQ461, the 1645 hours from BNK down to SYD that took off at 1735, meaning its aircraft A320 VH-VGQ will be about 55 minutes late on blocks at the terminal.

The 1735 hours AVV - SYD (A320 VH-VGR) took off at 1831. JQ608 is suggested as arriving 45 minutes tardy at 1945 this evening.

JQ790 (1740 hours SYD - MCY) took off at 1906 with A320 VH-VFV. It is suggested as arriving at 1938 hours, 83 minutes tardy.

Suspect this might result in a cancellation out of BNE. Not what you expect to see on the tarmac

If it was empty (as I suspect it would be given that it presumably blew there from somewhere else) then the damage might be minimal, but might still need an inspection. Can we assume its from an adjacent construction site i.e. second runway building site?

Adding to the storm-related effects at BNE on Sunday 13 November 2016 evening, JQ567 (2045 hours to MEL) has been cancelled.

JQ824 from SYD to BNE has also got the boot.

 

[Melburnian1]

JQ823 from BNE to SYD must have a dispensation to land after curfew as it is likely to do so at 2323 hours. It is the 1940 hours ex BNE that was airborne at 2306: A320 VH-VQA.

Also on Sunday 13 November, JQ525 (2145 hours from SYD down to MEL, A321 VH-VWT) took off at 2255 with arrival suggested as 65 minutes late at 0025 on Monday 14 November.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Monday 14 November 2016, JQ677, the 0110 hours DRW to MEL took off at 0205. A320 VH-VQG is arriving at about 0728 hours, 38 minutes behind schedule.

JQ928, the 0700 hours BNE - CNS has been cancelled, possibly as a result of the Sunday 13 November Category 3 cyclone that struck BNE at about 1731 hours.

UPDATE: JQ953 (0705 hours CNS down to SYD) was not in the sky until 0919, so A320 VH-VFL should arrive at around 1249 instead of the timetabled 1100.

 

[Melburnian1]

Continuing with delays for Monday 14 November, JQ37, the 1730 hours from SYD to DPS (B788 VH-VKG) was airborne at 1830. It is expected to arrive at around 2151 hours this evening, 56 minutes behind time.

A320 VH-VGI on the 1715 hours OOL - CNS, JQ964 took off an hour after that scheduled pushback time so arrival is likely at 2044 instead of 1940. Strangely FR24 has the scheduled and claimed actual departure times showing as '1815' and '1924' but with it only being 1835 AEST as I type, FR24's times are not correct.

 

[Melburnian1]

Tuesday 15 November has JQ501 (A320 Vh-VFH, the 0605 hours early morning SYD - MEL) not having been airborne until 0654; arrival is expected at 0818 hours, 43 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Wednesday 16 November, JQ762, the 0655 early morning from SYD to ADL took off at 0745, with arrival suggested as 0916 hours, 46 minutes tardy. A320 VH-VFY is the workhorse.

 

[Melburnian1]

Much later on Wednesday 16 November, JQ849 (1405 hours HTI - SYD that was airborne at 1502 hours) should arrive at 1813, 43 minutes tardy. Aircraft is VH-VFY, a ubiquitous A320.

 

[Melburnian1]

In further on Wednesday 16 November, the 1425 hours DPS - MEL (B788 VH-VKB) did not take off until 1648 hours this afternoon, so arrival is not predicted until about 0059 hours on Thursday 17 November, 124 minutes tardy.

This flight has a highly variable punctuality performance. Its worst recent performance was a MEL arrival after 0200, meaning 0400 or later into bed for tired Melbourne suburban resident travellers from the Y cabin.

Continuing JQ's less than acceptable timekeeping on the MEL - SYD route, JQ524 (A320 VH-VGQ, the 2045 hours northbound) was airborne at 2125 hours. It should have passengers alighting shortly after 2244, 34 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

Thursday 17 November 2016 has JQ101, the 0110 hours from DPS down to TSV that took off at 0143 this morning arriving at a suggested 0829 hours, 44 minutes tardy. Aircraft is A320 VH-VFD.

 

[Melburnian1]

In further on Thursday 17 November, JQ744 (A320 VH-VQL), the 1520 hours from LST up to MEL did not take off until very late - at 1807 hours. It should arrive in the Victorian capital at about 1911, 166 minutes behind schedule.

The 1800 hours MEL - OOL JQ442 took off at exactly 1900 hours so arrival of A320 VH-VGQ is estimated as 1947 tonight, 42 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

The Thursday 17 November JQ38 from DPS to SYD most unusually has made a stop in ASP from about 0520 hours to 0540 this morning (18 November). Was this for a medical emergency? B788 VH-VKE is expected to arrive in SYD at about 0955 hours on Friday 18.

JQ941 (0610 hours CNS to MEL that was airborne at 0643 hours on Friday 18 November, A320 VH-VGY) should be at its destination at 1102, 32 minutes late.

The 0700 from SYD down to MEL, JQ503 (A320 VH-VQG) has had a bad start to Friday morning, not having become airborne until 0813, with arrival suggested as 0933, 53 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

Also on 18 November JQ814 (1045 hours BNE -SYD) took off at 1205. Arrival of A320 VH-VQE is suggested as 1427, 67 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Saturday 19 November, JQ810, the 0605 hours early morning SYD - BNE was cancelled.

JQ721 (1035 hours SYD - HBA) departed 45 minutes behind at 1120 with arrival predicted as identically delayed from 1230 to 1315 this afternoon.

On Friday JQ790 SYD-MCY and the return JQ791 were cancelled "due to pilot illness".
No notification to MCY-SYD pax who were checked in before announcement made-most put on Saturday morning's first flight.
