Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

The distance by road is approx 450km, if I'm not mistaken. It might also be difficult to organise given it's the holidays period.

Awesom Andy, thanks. One of AFF's esteemed contributors explained that around ASP at the time there was turbulence and storms, so that - not the road condition- was apparently the deciding factor with these aircraft turning back to SYD.

I have been between Alice Springs and Ayers Rock by road and yes, it is about a four hour drive.

In further on Boxing Day, JQ143 (1935 hours evening flight from SYD to CHC) is delayed until an expected 2010 in departing.

The 2025 hours from SYD up to BNE (JQ824) has been cancelled.

JQ756, the 1625 hours from HBA up to SYD took off at 1701; arrival should be at 1641, 31 late. Vh-VGA is the A320.

Tuesday 27 December 2016 sees JQ213, the 0910 hours MEL - AKL delayed until an expected departure at 1000.

Later, JQ736 (1310 hours early afternoon from LST up to MEL) took off at 1412. A320 VH-VFX should arrive at 1508, 53 minutes behind schedule. QF438 from MEL to OOL looks to be delayed an estimated 35 minutes to 1535 in its departure, but given an arrival at about 1508, 1545 might be a better guess.

Much later on Tuesday 27 December 2016, JQ777 (A320 VH-VQP, the 2110 hours from ADL across to MEL that took off at 2216) should arrive at roughly 2348, 48 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

Wednesday 28 December has JQ765 (1155 hours ADL across to SYD) having become airborne at 1325. A320 VH-VGQ is estimated to arrive 80 minutes tardy at 1540.

The 1145 hours OOL - MEL, JQ437 was airborne at 1246, so it should pull in to be on blocks at about 1557, 52 minutes late. VH-VWX is the 220 seat A321.

 

[Melburnian1]

JQ457, the 0915 hours BNK - SYD on Thursday 29 December (A320 Vh-VGQ) took off at 1008. Arrival should be shortly at about 1117, 37 minutes behind.

The 1000 ADL - MEL, JQ773 (A320 VH-VGF) was airborne at 1059 hours. It should pull in to its designated gate in MEL at 1232, 42 minutes behind schedule.

JQ758 from HBA to BNE, the timetabled 1055 hours departure was airborne at 1145. It should be at its destination at the airport gate at roughly 1312 hours, 37 minutes tardy. A320 VH-VFN is the conveyance.

With the heavy rain and flash flooding in parts of Melbourne mid afternoon (from around 1500 hours) on Thursday 29 December, it looks like MEL may have been closed for a while.

In an hour and 19 minutes between 1459n and 1618 hours, MEL (airport) had 42.6 millimetres of rain: tropical conditions like Jakarta or Manila!

JQ515, the 1350 hours from SYD down to MEL (A320 VH-JQL) took off on time at 1408 but is arriving at about 1618, 53 minutes late after being held in the usual location above Mt Buller, Victoria.

As at 1602 AEDT, JQ517, the following 1405 hours that was airborne at 1505 remained in a similar holding pattern with arrival suggested as 1626, 46 minutes tardy.

UPDATE: JQ796, the 1455 hours MEL - MCY was airborne at 1618 hours; it should arrive 64 minutes late at 1719. Aircraft is A320 VH-VQQ.

The 1340 hours ADL to MEL (JQ775) took off at 1402, not very late, but was held over Condah and then over Cressy, both in southwest Victoria, with arrival suggested as 1643 hours, 73 minutes tardy. This aircraft is A320 VH-VQE.

 

[Melburnian1]

Continuing with Thursday 29 December 2016, JQ611, the 2200 hours from SYD to AVV (A320 VH-VQR) was airborne at 2239. It is predicted to be at its home for the night at 0010 on Friday 30, 35 minutes tardy.

JQ527 (2050 hours SYd down to MEL, A321 VH-VWN) was in the sky at 2218, so arrival in the southern capital is expected at about 2338 hours, 73 minutes behind schedule.

The 1425 hours mid afternoon JQ44 from DPS to MEL took off at a late 1623 hours with B788 Vh-VKI. It should pull in at 0018 on Friday 30 December, 83 minutes past its 2255 hours scheduled arrival.

JQ777, the 2300 hours scheduled arrival in MEL ex ADL was cancelled as was JQ525, the late night 2320 hours arrival ex SYD into MEL on Thursday 29.

 

[Melburnian1]

In further after a very wet Thursday 29 December in Melbourne, JQ740, the 1825 hours from LST to MEL took off at 2223 hours. Arrival of A320 VH-VFY is expected at about 2329, 239 minutes behind the schedule.

JQ570 (2115 hours MEL - BNE) took off at 2308 hours so arrival should be at 0005 hours on Friday 30, 95 late.

JQ917 (1930 hours TSV down to MEL, A320 VH-JQL) was airborne at 2032 tonight. Predicted arrival is 0027 on Friday 30, 57 minutes tardy.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Friday 30 December, JQ7, the 1200 'high noon' from MEL to SIN has been cancelled. This is one of JQ's more unpunctual flights at the best of times.

JQ473, the early morning 0610 hours from NTL down to MEL (A320 VH-VFT) had a delayed start with takeoff not until 0702. It should arrive at 0833, 43 minutes late.

The first of the morning from SYD down to MEL, JQ501 fared even more badly with this 0605 hours timetabled departure becoming an 0719 takeoff. Accordingly, arrival should be at about 0837 hours, 62 minutes delayed.

The next flight, JQ503 (A320 VH-VGQ) is the 0700 hours departure that was airborne at 0746; arrival should be 32 minutes late at 0907.

JQ771 from ADL across to MEL is VH-VQE - the 0610 hours departure that pushed back at 0708. A 39 minute late arrival in MEL at 0839 should be the result.

JQ18 from HKT to MEL should be on blocks at about 1145, 80 minutes delayed with B788 VH-VKL.

 

[Melburnian1]

Continuing with Friday 30 December, JQ474 (the 1205 hours MEL - NTL) was not airborne until 1326. A320 VH-VFT (which was also late out of NTL this morning) should arrive at 1440, 65 minutes behind schedule. This morning it was about 45 minutes late arriving in MEL so it has failed to make up any of this lost time.

The 1600 hours OOl - SYD, JQ419 took off at 1728 - A320 VH-JQG. It should be at its designated airport arrival gate at 1945 hours, 75 minutes late.

JQ566 (A320 VH-VQP, the 1800 hours MEL - BNE that was airborne at 1909 on 30 December) should arrive at around 2008 tonight, 53 minutes behind schedule.

On Saturday 31 December, JQ15, the 0810 hours MEL - CNS - KIX has been cancelled.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Sunday 1 January 2017, JQ23, the 0050 hours from MEL to NRT took off at 0125. With B788 VH-VKA doing the honours, it should arrive at roughly 0916, 31 minutes tardy.

JQ8, the 2000 hours overnight on Saturday 31 December from SIN down to MEL should pull in on 1 January 2017 at about 0651, also 31 late. It has VH-VKL.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Sunday 1 January 2017, JQ706, the 1215 lunchtime from HBA up to MEL was airborne at 1333 hours. A320 VH-VQP should arrive at 1449, 74 minutes behind schedule.

B788 VH-VKH on the 1200 'high noon' MEL - SIN, the often late or cancelled JQ7 took off at 1312 hours; arrival should be at 1802 hours, 72 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

Much later on 1 January 2017, JQ714, the 2055 hours HBA - MEL took off at 2130 with A321 VH-VWY with arrival expected at 2245 hours, half an hour behind schedule.

 

[Melburnian1]

Monday 2 January sees JQ164, the 0700 hours from WLG to MEL that took off at 0732 (A320 Vh-VQS) arriving at around 0934, 39 minutes late. This aircraft may then be forming a domestic flight rather than another international one.

The 1040 hours MEL - SYD, JQ510 is expected to depart about an hour late while the 1205 hours MEL - NTL, JQ474 should be about 45 minutes behind schedule in departing.

 

[Melburnian1]

In further on 2 January, JQ748, the 1235 hours lunchtime from LST to SYD took off at 1320 with A320 Vh-VFH. Arrival should be at 1444, 34 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

Also on Monday 2 January, JQ609, the evening 1830 hours from SYD down to AVV was airborne at 1944; resultant on blocks time at the Victorian airfield will be at about 2043, 38 minutes late. Aircraft is A320 VH-VQZ.

 

[Melburnian1]

One of the BOM's radars around BNE was inoperable a little while ago but there must have been a very significant storm in BNE this evening around 2000 hours. JQ906, the 2010 hours BNE - TSV (A320 VH-XSJ) took off at 2109 with its expected 2257 hours arrival being 52 minutes behind schedule.

 

[Melburnian1]

Tuesday 3 January 2017 sees JQ983, the 0005 hours from PER to OOL that took off at 0052 arriving at about 0714, 39 minutes tardy with A320 VH-VQH.

The redeye from BKK to MEL, JQ30 is badly delayed with B788 VH-VKJ forecast to pull in at 1319 instead of 1050, a 149 minute deficit. This aircraft then looks to be forming JQ1, the 1635 hours from MEL up to HNL so the latter should be unaffected, all being well.

JQ785 from SYD to MCY is predicted to depart at 1220 this afternoon rather than 1130 this morning.

 

[Melburnian1]

Later on 3 January, JQ515 (the 1350 hours from SYD down to MEL) took off at a very late 1610 with A320 VH-VGD. Arrival should be 119 minutes late at 1724.

The 1555 hours MEL - OOL (JQ440) has been delayed in departing by half an hour.

JQ951 (1330 hours CNS down to SYD, A320 VH-VQP) was airborne at 1447; arrival should be at 1833, 68 minutes behind schedule.

UPDATE: Later, JQ609, the 1830 hours early evening flight from SYD down to AVV took off at 1921. Arrival of A320 VH-VQP should be 34 minutes late at 2039.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Wednesday 4 January, JQ705 (the 1030 MEL - HBA) was airborne at 1117; arrival of A333 Vh-JQX should be at 1224, 39 minutes tardy.
