Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

JQ814 (1000 hours SYD - BNE, A320 VH-VGU) took off at 1150 on Friday 15 September so is at least 75 minutes late.

JQ457, the 0910 hours from BNK down to SYD that took off at 1048 (A320 VH-VQP) is arriving at about 1157, 82 late.

The 0825 hours MEL - SYD, JQ504, is shockingly delayed until an expected 1300 hours in its departure. Winds in SYD have been strong in the early morning but since then variable.

JQ508, the 1020 hours MEL - SYD was cancelled.

In further on Friday 15 September, JQ521, the 1600 hours SYD - MEL that took off at 1634 (about 20 minutes late) is arriving at 1807, 32 late with A321 VH-VWN.

Northbound JQ514, the mid afternoon 1520 hours from MEL to SYD was not in the sky until 1731 late this afternoon with VH-VWZ. Arrival is suggested as 1841, 116 minutes behind time. JQ518 (VH-VWY) is ahead, with this scheduled 1615 northbound having taken off at 1726; arrival at a predicted 1841 will be 61 late.

JQ520 (scheduled 1700 hours MEL - SYD) was cancelled.

On Sunday 17 September, JQ562 (1040 hours from MEL up to BNE that did not become airborne until 1254) should arrive at about 1448 this afternoon, 118 minutes tardy. VH-VFH is the A320 that had previously been almost on time on JQ981, the 0700 hours scheduled arrival in MEL ex the redeye from PER, so it is unclear what caused the delay to JQ562.

 

[Melburnian1]

In further on 17 September 2017, JQ17 (scheduled 1450 hours mid afternoon from MEL up to HKT, B788 VH-VKD) was not airborne until 1538. Estimated arrival is 46 late at 2131 hours mid evening local time.

Windy conditions in MEL on Monday 18 September have so far not led to many notable delays but it being peak period, quite a lot of aircraft are in holding patterns as at 0800 hours. JQ503, the 0700 hours SYD - MEL (A321 Vh-VWU) did not help by not taking off until 0749, about 30 - 35 late, so while arrival is estimated at 0907, 32 late, this may be an underestimate of the delay as the aircraft has yet to commence a hold further south.

The CHC - SYD JQ140 (A320 VH-VFV) should arrive at 0850 hours, 40 minutes tardy.

The HBA - MEL JQ700 (A321 VH-VWW) has a scheduled departure of 0800: it took off at 0835, but arrived at 0957, 42 late.

JQ730 (the 0835 hours LST up to MEL that was airborne at 0901 with A320 VH-VFH) is arriving at 1011, 31 minutes late.

VH-JQL (A320) on JQ475 from NTL down to MEL should arrive at about 1037 this morning, 32 late.

Later on a windy 18 September in Melbourne, JQ508 (A320 VH-VFH, the 1020 hours MEL - SYD that was in the sky at 1112) should arrive at 1236, 51 minutes tardy.

JQ946 (also a 1020 hours scheduled ex MEL, but to CNS) took off at a similar 1110 hours. Arrival of VH-VQF is estimated at 1431, also by sheer coincidence 51 minutes behind schedule.

A320 VH-VFL on JQ735 (1025 hours MEL to LST that was not in the sky until 1124) looks to be arriving at about 2111, 41 minutes behind timetable.

 

[Melburnian1]

Continuing with Monday 18 September, JQ708 (1225 hours lunchtime HBA up to MEL, A320 VH-JQL) was airborne at 1315, so arrival is likely at 1431 hours, 51 late.

VH-VFH on JQ511, the 1215 hours SYD - MEL that was in the sky at 1309 is arriving at roughly 1424, 34 minutes behind schedule. The following JQ513 (scheduled 1245 ex SYD, having taken off at 1339 with A321 VH-VWN) is arriving at 1455 this afternoon, 35 late.

The problems due to a major fuel line being ruptured are affecting flights in and out of AKL:

[Melburnian1]

Continuing with Monday 18 September 2017, JQ479 from NTL to MEL has been in the comon Mt Buller, Vic. holding pattern so arrival has become a suggested 2102 instead of 2010 hours - 52 late. A320 VH-VGQ is the plane.

JQ215, the 2255 hours late night arrival in MEL has been diverted via WLG to pick up extra fuel (see above) and hence is arriving at about 0020 on Tuesday 19.

On Tuesday 19 September, JQ17 (1450 hours MEL - HKT) is again late with takeoff of B788 VH-VKA at 1616. Delayed arrival is predicted for 2211, 86 minutes tardy.

Long haul flight JQ1 from MEL to HNL (V788 VH-VKB), the 1550 hours, did not become airborne until 1839. Arrival (same day) is predicted as 0904, 169 minutes behind schedule. This will delay JQ2.

Wednesday 20 September sees JQ202, the 0655 hours AKL - SYD that was airborne at 0748 hours (A320 VH-VFK) arriving at a predicted 0952 hours, 52 late.

There are delays out of AKL due to the ongoing fuel crisis with aircraft switching off engines until ATC gives push back clearance:

A320 VH-VQU is the aircraft. This will delay the 1835 hours MEL - BNE (JQ566) until at least 2020 in its pushing back.

JQ665, normally the 1545 hours arrival in MEL ex touristy AYQ is not arriving until 2245 tonight, more than seven hours tardy.

A320 VH-VFN on JQ443 (1700 hours late afternoon OOL - MEL that pointed skywards at 1740) is arriving at approximately 2008, 43 late after encountering a holding pattern.

JQ479 (1830 NTL down to MEL that was in the sky at 1906 hours with A320 VH-JQX) should arrive at 2048, 38 minutes late.

On Friday 22 September, JQ217 from MEL to AKL is cancelled due to the ongoing AKL fuel crisis.

Friday 22 September sees the first leg of JQ15, the 0720 hours MEL - CNS (B788 VH-VKH) having taken off at 0802. A 41 minute late, 1121 hours arrival awaits. However this flight should be on time for its next sector to KIX as that has a 1300 hours schedule for its departure.

JQ18, the 2220 hours from HKT to MEL (B788 VH-VKJ) on Thursday 21 September was in the sky at 2338. On Friday 22, arrival should be at about 1032, 42 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

In further on 22 September, JQ712, the mid afternoon 1430 hours HBA up to MEL that was in the sky at 1508 (A320 VH-VGD) should pull in to its allocated tarmac space at 1618 hours, 33 minutes tardy.

This aircraft then operated JQ794, the 1645 hours MEL - MCY that pointed skywards at 1733; arrival should be at 1930, half an hour behind the timetable.

The AYQ - MEL 'tourist special' JQ665 is again delayed with suggested arrival 45 late at 1630 hours.

JQ1, the long flight from MEL up to HNL that should depart at 1550 hours is expected to instead commence at 1700.

The mid afternoon JQ945, the scheduled 1545 hours from CNS down to MEL (VH-VQS) should arrive at 2002 tonight, 52 late.

A320 VH-VGF on JQ476 (1630 hours MEL - NTL that took off at 1730) should pull in at roughly 1850, 50 minutes behind schedule.

The 1020 hours morning BNE down to MEL, JQ563 (A321 Vh-VWN) took off at 1103; arrival should be at approximately 1323, 33 late.

JQ7, the 1110 hours MEL - SIN is showing as delayed until a 1300 hours departure. JQ30 had come in on time at around 0930 hours so I do not know the reason for this JQ7 delay.

JQ17, the scheduled mid afternoon 1450 hours MEL - HKT will instead depart at 2340 very late tonight.

 

[Melburnian1]

In further on 24 September, JQ743, the 1905 hours early evening MEL - LST was airborne at 1944; arrival should be at around 2045, 35 minutes tardy. A320 VH-VFX has the task.

 

[Melburnian1]

Due to the SYD airport radar failure at about 0520 hours on Monday 25 September, there are numerous delays and a growing list of cancellations on what in some states is the first day of the school holidays.

JQ810, the 0605 hours SYD - BNE (A320 VH-JQG) took off at 0744, so its arrival will not occur until at least 0905, 90 minutes late.
