Continuing with Monday 7 August, QF63 (B789 VH-ZNF) departed 65 minutes late at 1045 hours: it is expected to be at its JNB gate (ex SYD) at 1652, 42 late.
It was substituted in for an A380. Looks like OQK is out of service having been in Sydney since the morning of 4th Aug.I don't know if A332 VH-EBJ that had been in Sydney overnight was substituted for an A333 at the last moment, but it took off at 1511 hours mid afternoon for projected Lion City arrival of 2103 hours, 153 minutes late, tonight mid evening local time.
QF73 was boarded and then cancelled indicating mechanical issue. ZNC the 787 aircraft.
EDIT: now showing as departing at 1pm Tuesday

Charter flightsDoes anyone know why there has been a QF331/332 SYD-SIN-LHR-SIN-SYD? Operated alongside QF1/2. Both A380s. Both due back Thursday 9/8.
QF332 boarded from gate 40 at LHR, QF2 from the next door gate 42. 332 was still sitting at the gate (with no bridges attached) when 2 was getting ready to board. A lot of people in the gate area thought they were late as the aircraft at gate 42 couldn't be seen from the waiting area.Does anyone know why there has been a QF331/332 SYD-SIN-LHR-SIN-SYD?

I was on QF24 BKK-SYD tonight but it's been cancelled due to a sick pilot which they're trying to replace. We've been put into hotels. New ETD 'tomorrow morning.'

EDIT: Got an email saying the issue is "a complex mechanical fault." Nothing mentioned about the pilot (which was what was announced on the PA).
