JQ2 HNL-MEL (VH-VKK) did not take off until 11 02, 178 late. Arrival is expected at 18 10, 125 tardy. This was a result of the previously advised delay of JQ1

JQ17 MEL-HKT 15 20 service is cancelled.
 
Also on Thursday 29 November, JQ513 (1300 hours early afternoon SYD down to MEL) was in the sky right on 1500 hours. Arrival should be at 1620 hours, 105 minutes late. Aircraft is A321 VH-VWQ.

With holding patterns occurring to a large number of MEL arrivals as at 1800 hours on Thursday 29 November, predicted arrival for JQ2 has blown out to about 1825. At 1809 it remained in a racetrack formation above the usual Mt Buller (Vic) spot.

JQ419 (A320 VH-VGI, the 1810 hours SYD down to MEL) took off at 1906 so arrival has become 2030 hours, 45 minutes late.

Continuing with 30 November 2018, JQ954 (1145 hours SYD - CNS, A320 VH-VFI) took off at 1310. Predicted arrival is 1450, an hour behind the timetable.

JQ1036 is an altered flight (B788 VH-VKF): it took off from DPS at 0908 on 30 November and should arrive in MEL at its gate at about 1658.

JQ517 (A321 VH-VWU, the 1400 hours SYD down to MEL) did not become airborne until 1602 so arrival is at 1712 hours, 97 late. It had arrived in SYD 46 minutes late at 1356 hours this afternoon ex CNS, but unfortunately lost further time on the ground in Sydney. JQ517 is its sixth consecutive flight (from last night) when this plane has been more than 20 minutes late arriving.

JQ35, the 1855 hours early evening from MEL to DPS is predicted to push back four hours late.

JQ442 (1705 hours late afternoon Friday 30 November MEL - OOL with A321 VH-VWT) was in the sky at 1757. Suggested arrival is 1850 hours, 40 minutes tardy.

The SYD to SGN medium length flight has B788 (as usual) VH-VKH and should arrive at 2137, 32 late.
 
JQ426 (A321 VH-VWW) took off at 2229 hours on the Friday 30 November 2110 hours SYD - OOL, so arrival will be at about 2230 Queensland time, an hour late.

The MEL up to SYD JQ541 has A320 VH-VQH and should arrive 46 late at 2246 hours with A320 VH-VQH.

Saturday 1 December 2018 sees JQ402 (A320 VH-VGF, the 0705 hours SYD to OOL) having a late start to its morning, as it was still taxiing in Sydney at 0818 hours. Arrival will be at least 50 late.

JQi26 from CNS to MEL (B788 VH-VKG, the 0710 hours) took off at 0757 so arrival at 1207, 37 late is expected.

A lot worse is the DPS - MEL JQ46 (B788 VH-VKI), the 2315 hours Friday 30 November flight that took off on Saturday at the unattractive hour of 0303. Arrival should be at 1050, three hours late.

JQ509, midmorning 1045 hours SYD down to MEL on Sunday 2 December 2018 (A320 VH-VQH) took off at 1147 so the inevitable result is projected arrival at 1306, 46 late.

The 0855 hours BNE - MEL (JQ504) is similar, having taken off 69 minutes later than scheduled departure. VH-XJE should arrive at 1213 hours, 53 late.
 
As at 1240 hours on Sunday 2 December 2018, most aircraft seem to be using runway 25 in Sydney so if that continues, delays are likely this afternoon as the Sunday peak comes upon us.

JQ510 (1050 hours MEL - SYD, A321 VH-VWZ) was airborne at 1153 so arrival is at 1300 hours even , 45 late.

You mean JQ563? If that's the case, arrival is suggested for 13 08.

Apologies: not sure what I meant. Mistake!

Continuing with Sunday 2 December 2018, JQ513, the 1300 hours early afternoon SYD down to MEL (A321 VH-VWZ) had yet to join the queue for runway 25 takeoff by 1410 so is likely to be at least an hour late arriving at gate in the southern capital.

Northbound, JQ512 (1250 ex MEL) took off at 1406 so is arriving in SYD at 1514, 59 late with A320 VH-VQH.

By 1735 on Sunday 2 December 2018, SYD had reverted to using the north south runways so that may mitigate delays. Too late, though, for anyone on cancelled flights.

JQ476 (A320 VH-VQJ, the 1630 hours MEL - NTL that took off at 1726) should arrive at 1836 hours, 36 late.
