Qantas Delays/Cancellations

On Tuesday 11 February, QF19 (lunchtime 1205 hours SYD-MNL) has A333 VH-QPC. It took off at 1446 hours as the aircraft had been on the ICN to SYD QF88 that arrived 97 minutes late at 1217 hours. MNL arrival should be about 1931 hours, 121 late.

This is the third consecutive day this flight has been two hours late: almost identical takeoff and landing times.

QF11, the 1725 hours SYD-LAX is expected to push back 80 late at 1845 early this evening.

Tuesdays is the only day when QF79, the morning 0925 hours MEL-NRT in Japan is an A332 rather than an A333. VH-EBV was airborne at 1139 so a 90 minute late arrival at 1925 this evening beckons.

'The 29' (1105 hours MEL-HKG) has VH-QPJ that should arrive at about 1808 hours, 33 behind.

QF27 yesterday from SYD to South America's SCL was 83 late arriving so today, B789 VH-ZNI should arrive at 1813, 33 minutes late back in SYD. The outbound flight often runs late but the generous turnaround time in Santago de Chile means many punctual arrivals in Sydney.

QF139, the evening 1850 hours SYD-CHC is forecast to depart 35 late. These evening flights to New Zealand are often delayed, meaning an 0030 hours in the Shaky Isles. Businessmen and women want to maximise productivity but I fail to see how arriving at one's hotel at say 0200 or later is conducive to a morning 0930 hours meeting with clients.

QF33 from SYD to PER and on to Paris is cancelled tomorrow (Wednesday 12). So QF34 on Thursday 13 will also get the boot. I can't recall a previous cancellation on this route, but have not monitored every flight.
