On Wednesday 26 September 2018, JQ786 (scheduled 1145 hours SYD - MCY, A320 VH-VQM) took off at 1234 so at gate arrival should be roughly 1356 this afternoon, 36 minutes tardy.

Crosscountry SYD - ADL JQ764 has A320 VH-VQF and should arrive at 1314, 49 minutes behind the timetable.
 
JQ916, the Wednesday 26 September 1615 hours MEL - TSV has A320 VH-VFU and took off at a much delayed 1811 hours. Arrival is estimated at 2102 hours, 107 minutes late. Don't know why it was delayed as it has uneventfully arrived from PPP. Perhaps a late flight from SYD where there is storms had the crew?

The 1620 hours SYD up to OOL is eerily similar, having pointed skywards at 1811 for a suggested 1923 hours, 103 late arrival. Aircraft is A321 VH-VWQ.

The 1735 hours MEL up to BNE, JQ576 (VH-VFL) was not airborne until 1818, about half an hour late.

JQ791 from MCY down to SYD has VH-VGO and should arrive at roughly 1837, 52 late.

In further on 26 September, JQ610, the 2030 hours mid evening AVV - SYD was in the sky at 2131 with arrival for A320 VH-VGO estimated as 2246, 61 minutes behind the timetable.

The 1815 hours SYD - MEL JQ523 is far worse, having not taken off until 2125 tonight so arrival should be at about 2240, 170 minutes tardy. A321 VH-VWU is the aircraft. Stirms in and around Sydney could be the reason.

There has also been patchy weather in southeast Qld from what the BOM site indicates. JQ449, also an 1815 hours scheduled departure but ex OOL took off at 2015. VH-VWQ should be at its MEL allocated tarmac spot at 2216, 96 late.

JQ443 on the same route would normally be ahead of 449 as 443 is a timetabled 1715 ex OOL. It did not point skywards until 2026 so A320 VH-XSJ should arrive at 2233 hours, 173 late.

Another OOl down to SYD, JQ425, the 2000 hours (A320 VH-VFF) took off at 2118 so should arrive at 2231, 61 late.

JQ819 on 26 September must have a Sydney curfew dispensation. The aircraft A320 VH-VGU on this 2040 hours BNE down to SYD did not take off until 2200, so likely landing is 2317, 67 late with at gate arrival five minutes later.
 
Thursday 27 September sees JQ477 (timetabled 1420 hours SYD to MEL that took off on the dot of 1700 hours with A320 VH-XSJ) arriving at an expected 1828, 148 minutes behind schedule.

Opposite number JQ476 (VH-VFQ) is also delayed with this 1635 hours MEL departure taking off at 1739 for a predicted 1802 arrival in NTL, 57 minutes past the timetable.

JQ3, the afternoon SYD - HNL with B788 VH-VKE was airborne at 1741, 76 minutes after timetabled pushback so same day arrival should be 48 late at 0648 hours.

The MCY down to SYD JQ791 (A320 VH-VGV) should arrive at about 1816 hours, 31 late.
