In more on what is a very wet Friday 7 September 2018 in SYD (with earlier problems as lightning strikes were possible), JQ423, the 1700 hours OOL down to SYD was airborne at 1741 with arrival estimated at 1923, 53 late. This is a 'moderate' delay compared with that for many other flights tonight.

Showing this, JQ523 from SYD down to MEL, the 1600 hours with 220 seat A321 VH-VWU was pointing skywards at 1911, meaning anticipated arrival at 2028 hours, 173 late.

JQ3, the 1625 hours SYD up to HNL is following closely as B788 VH-VKG took off at 1914, about two and a half hours tardy.

JQ37 (1640 hours SYD up to DPS, VH-VKA) took off at roughly 2006 so arrival is likely about three hours late.

Later on Friday 7 September, JQ527 (2040 hours mid evening SYD down to MEL took off at 2208 hours with A321 VH-VWQ) so arrival shoud be at about 2315, 55 late.

Due to the lightning strikes yesterday and shocking conditions in SYD, JQ37 was badly late so no surprise that on Saturday 8 September, JQ38 from DPS back to SYD arrived at 0918, 183 late with B788 VH-VKA.

JQ430 (0600 hours MEL - OOL, A321 VH-VWT) took off at a very late 0811 so arrival has become a suggested 1016 hours, 136 late.

The 0910 hours BNK down to SYD, JQ457 (A320 VH-VQW) was airborne at 1008 so arrival should be at 1118 hours, 43 late.

[Melburnian1]

JQ531 (Tuesday 18 September, the 0640 hours SYD down to MEL that did not take off until 0743, A321 VH-VWN) should arrive at 0909 hours, 54 late. Better than yesterday when the flight was cancelled.

JQ524 (0855 hours MEL back up to SYD) should be able to push back at roughly 0945.

JQ503 (0700 hours SYD down to MEL) did not become airborne until 0757 so arrival of A320 VH-VGF is delayed until 0923 hours, 48 late.

Updating VH-VWN's flights from the previous post, on 18 September it then ran JQ524, taking off at 1025, 90 minutes after timetabled pushback in MEL. SYD arrival was at 1132, 72 late. Currently the aircraft is on JQ824, the 1100 hours late morning SYD - BNE that was airborne at 1219 for suggested arrival at 1327, 57 late. Next flight is JQ825, the 1310 hours BNE back down to SYD that will be lucky to push back by 1400.

While some rosters may be slacker on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, this one may not be as so far the aircraft has been unable to pick up time. I can't see what other flights it is supposed to undertake this arvo and evening to ascertain whether it has a big break anywhere.

VH-VQH on JQ474 (1210 hours MEL - NTL) was airborne at 1347. Expected arrival is 1505 miod afternoon, 85 late.
