Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[789nerd]

Sunday's QF10 (B789 VH-ZNF) departed London 49 minutes late, reducing that to 25 minutes on arrival in Perth today, however it was then 56 minutes late leaving Perth before arriving in Melbourne a few minute ago at 20:20 AEDT 40 minutes late. Currently Qantas Flight Status doesn't show any impact on the departure to this evenings Q93 MEL-LAX.

Today's QF63 (B789 VH-ZNI) was 3hours 13 minutes late departing Sydney for Jo'burg, with expected arrival there of 18:25 local, 2 hours 45 minutes late. Consequently the return QF64 is delayed 2 hours 15 minutes with an estimated arrival back in Sydney on Tuesday afternoon of 16:40 AEDT, with the same delay.

Today's QF7 (B789 VH-ZND) was 2 hours 14 minutes late departing Sydney for Dallas at 19:04 AEDT. Since ZND arrived on time with QF6 from Perth at 17:05 AEDT less than 2 hours earlier, it clearly was not the aircraft intended for this flight. Anyway estimated arrival in Dallas is 17:40 CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes late. That clearly leaves enough time for the return QF8 to depart on time at 21:50 CDT.

As B789 VH-ZNC arrived in Sydney at 06:13 AEDT this morning with QF76 from Vancouver (a few minutes early), its apparent non availability appears to be the cause of the above delays.

Today's QF5, SYD-PER-FCO which would usually have been a turn around for ZND, is being operated by B789 VH-ZNA with a 49 minute departure delay - Qantas Flight Status shows this reducing to 20 minutes in Perth, and on-time in Rome - an optimistic estimate for a west bound flight.

QF75 is delayed overnight until 11am tomorrow morning. ZNC is the aircraft that was operating it.

Anyone know what’s going on with the 1 at the moment? A cancellation and some significant delays in the past week. Todays (Tue 4 Oct) appears to be heavily delayed also.

I think they had to replace an engine on one of the A380 last week which then delayed that 1 overnight. They are since playing catch-up due to previous crew rest issues (& the A380 sometimes rostered on the LAX route).

Today's QF63 (B789 VH-ZNI) was 3hours 13 minutes late departing Sydney for Jo'burg, with expected arrival there of 18:25 local, 2 hours 45 minutes late. Consequently the return QF64 is delayed 2 hours 15 minutes with an estimated arrival back in Sydney on Tuesday afternoon of 16:40 AEDT, with the same delay.

Today's QF7 (B789 VH-ZND) was 2 hours 14 minutes late departing Sydney for Dallas at 19:04 AEDT. Since ZND arrived on time with QF6 from Perth at 17:05 AEDT less than 2 hours earlier, it clearly was not the aircraft intended for this flight. Anyway estimated arrival in Dallas is 17:40 CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes late. That clearly leaves enough time for the return QF8 to depart on time at 21:50 CDT.

As B789 VH-ZNC arrived in Sydney at 06:13 AEDT this morning with QF76 from Vancouver (a few minutes early), its apparent non availability appears to be the cause of the above delays.

The return QF64 (B789 VH-ZNI) eventually departed 3 hours 29 minutes late, with revised Sydney arrival this Tuesday evening of 17:39 AEDT 3 hours 14 minutes late. The flow on delay will again be in QF7 SYD-DFW, which is now expected to depart at 20:25 AEDT 3 hours 45 minutes late, and arrive in Dallas at 19:45 CDT with same delay. Again with time to spare before returning with QF8 at 21:50 CDT.

As indicated by Flyerqf, B7989 VH-ZNC returned to service operating QF 75 departing Sydney at 12:01 AEDT today almost 16 hours late. This flight is expected to arrive in Vancouver at 7:10 PDT 14 hours 40 minutes late. The return QF76 is estimated to depart at 10:30 PDT and arrive in Sydney at 19:30 AEDT on Wednesday, 12 hours 50 minutes late. Yet again the flow on delay will see Wednesday's QF7 SYD-DFW depart at 20:50 AEDT 4 hours 10 minutes late. The arrival time in Dallas of 20:10 CDT, means timing will be tight for QF 8 to depart at 21:50 CDT, and will be dependant on the on-time departure of QF7.

The remaining Qantas B789 operations have maintained on-time arrivals, with push back delays averaging 30 minutes.

QF1 today delayed by 24 hours… which has a flow on effect for QF2 for 1 October.

Some one at work was on QF2. Anyone know what happened?

 

[789nerd]

The departure from Sydney of QF63 today (Wednesday) has been delayed by 5 hours 40 minutes to 16:15 AEDT . There will be a resultant delay in the return QF64 to 22:40 SAST (5 hrs 10 minutes)

 

[789nerd]

Tuesday's QF6 FCO-PER-SYD (B789 VH-ZNA) was 69 minutes late departing Rome, and as a consequence 31 minutes late on arrival in Perth this morning. The onward sector to Sydney is showing a 55 minute delay with new Perth departure of 11:00 AWST & revised Sydney arrival of 17:40 AEDT

QF579 HTI-SYD 06/10 Diverted to CBR.

 

[OATEK]

QF1 was a bit slow out of the blocks today with VH-OQH departing at 5:39pm, 46 minutes behind schedule.

 

[exLXCXFF]

QF8 had a slight delay out of DFW and departed at 2308 instead of 2150 on Wed 5 Oct, expected arrival into Sydney on Friday morning is around 40 minutes late. VH-ZNC operating it.

 

[789nerd]

Oops, take a day off and couple of diminishing B789 delays to catch up on.

Wednesday's QF12 (B789 VH-ZND) was 12 hours + late departing Los Angeles - this may be tied into A380s being diverted from QF11/QF12 to keep QF1/QF2 going. The late arrival in Sydney saw the flow-on delay cause yet another delay to QF7 SYD-DFW - departing at 19:00 AEDT, 5 hours 20 minutes late. A super fast 40 minute turn around saw ZND depart with QF8 just 1 hour 34 minutes minutes late, with arrival in Sydney projected to be 07:53 AEDT Saturday, 1 hour 18 minutes late.

Wednesday's delayed QF63/QF64 SYD-PER-JNB rotation (B789 VH-ZNB) finally arrived in Sydney at 20:37 AEDT Thursday 6 Hours 12 minutes late. The flow on delay in this case, saw QF75 SYD-YVR depart 2 hours 17 minute late and catch up some time to arrive in Vancouver 1 hour 45 minutes late. This was a sufficient catch up to allow the return QF76 to depart in time, with arrival in Sydney expected to be the timetabled 06:30 AEDT on Saturday morning.

It seems barely worth mentioning that Thursday's QF10 LHR-PER-MEL (B789 VH-ZNJ) is running just on half an hour late.

While the on-time arrival of QF6 FCO-PER-SYD (B789 QF-ZNF) in Sydney this afternoon marks the conclusion of these northern summer Rome flights, there will not be a spare B789, as B789 VH-ZNI headed off to Singapore for its 3yr Heavy Maintenance this afternoon.

While Friday's QF7 (B789 VH-ZNF) arrived in Dallas on time, the return QF8 left 1 hour 54 minutes late at 23:44 CDT. Arrival in Sydney is expected to be at 08:11 AEDT Sunday morning, 1 hour 36 minutes late. Probably due to the earlier QF7 flight delays, so crew not clear to fly.

 

[NamarrgonFlyer]

Severe storm in Darwin tonight which saw the main runway become out of order with arrestor cables failing....

QF43 pax in for a long night, may have to stay in Darwin after all? They still haven't left Katherine and are still meant to make a fuel stop in Darwin before Bali.

 

[NamarrgonFlyer]

QF43 seems to have ended up refuelling in Katherine and left at 1.05am local time to DPS... so seems like they were on the ground there for 3 hours.

QF44 arriving into Sydney just shy of 5 hours late

 

[789nerd]

While Friday's QF7 (B789 VH-ZNF) arrived in Dallas on time, the return QF8 left 1 hour 54 minutes late at 23:44 CDT. Arrival in Sydney is expected to be at 08:11 AEDT Sunday morning, 1 hour 36 minutes late. Probably due to the earlier QF7 flight delays, so crew not clear to fly.

Saturday's QF7 (B789 VH-ZND) arrived in Dallas 15 minutes ahead of schedule, however once again the return QF8 is delayed. This time, estimated to be 2 hrs 30 min, with departure expected at 0:20 CDT Sunday - currently Qantas Flight Schedule shows the same delay for a Sydney arrival at 9:05 AEDT Monday

QF1 left SYD pretty much on time Sat 8/10 but despite arriving in SIN on time was about 4hrs late leaving. Aircraft issue, crew? Due in after 10am Sun 9/10 at LHR.

I don’t know what happened but the 4 hour delay in SIN was already recorded Flightradar24 before QF1 even left SYD yesterday (I am tracking the schedule a bit as I will be on it in a couple of days).

So likely crew rest related?

 

[789nerd]

Today, Saturday's QF11 (B789 VH-ZND) was 63 minutes late departing Sydney this morning, however being an eastwards flight, is expected to be only 14 minutes late arriving at LAX at 06:14 PDT
