Qantas Delays/Cancellations

@jb747 - in that case, would QF organise a hotel for the crew to rest or would they be sent on the next available service to Australia potentially make the journey for them even longer?

In my day, we would have had the option. I don't know the current situation.

Wednesday 25 September's QF4, the 1920 hours from JFK (B789 VH-ZNK) took off at 2156 so Friday 27 arrival in AKL is estimated as 0636 hours, 96 minutes late. The second sector to SYD is unlikely to make up a stack of time.

On Thursday 26, QF295 (A333 OH-LTR), the 0950 hours morning SYD-BKK took off at 1051. Gate arrival should be 35 minutes late at 1715 hours.

QF10 from LHR down to PER arrived with VH-ZNE at 1222 hours, 42 late.

QF2 (A388 VH-OQJ) from LHR to SIN should arrive 37 late at 1802 hours Singapore time (2002 AEST).

With SYD, BNE and MEL airports busy due partly to school holidays and/or the AFL Grand Final's patrons making their way down for the Grand Final street parade on Friday, a public holiday in Melbourne, unsurprising there's some delayed flights.

QF1401 (Q400 VH-QOR, the 1755 hours SYD down to MQL) was airborne at 1848 hours.

B738 VH-VXH on QF468, the 1645 hours from MEL to SYD is arriving at 1900 hours, 50 minutes late.

QF2043 from DBO to SYD, the 1645 hours, took off at 1742 with Q400 VH-QOV and arrived at 1852 hours, 62 minutes late.

One I missed earlier today, QF59 (A333 VH-QPC), the 1110 hours SYD-HND did not become airborne until 1236 hours. A 2114 hours (local time) arrival, 64 late, is the forecast. Four out of the last QF59/60 rotations have been operated by this aircraft.

The 2200 hours QF60 (HND down to SYD) QF60 is estimated to depart at 2235 hours. Some airports couldn't manage a c.81 minute international flight turnaround: Japanese efficiency may mean HND can.

Updating post #16,103, QF4 has advanced to be estimated to arrive at AKL at 0617 tomorrow morning, not 0636 hours. FR24 suggests the onward second sector to SYD will depart at 0740 hours, only 40 minutes late.

Well there you go...after more than a month out of service, B789 VH-ZNC did the honours on QF773, the 1315 hours MEL-PER this afternoon and is now undertaking long haul QF9, the 1830 hours PER-LHR. Showing the amount of timetable padding, this afternoon it took off at 1409 and arrived PER (local time) only 11 minutes late at 1536 hours. It should be at least 10 minutes early arriving at its London gate on Saturday 27 September 2024.

Friday 27 September has QF60, the 0640 hours from HND down to SYD not in the sky until 0802. Gate arrival tonight should be 47 minutes behind schedule at 1817 hours for A333 VH-QPE.

Its sister flight but in the opposite direction, QF59, the 1110 hours SYD-HND is predicted to depart 45 late at 1155.

QF143, the 0855 hours SYD-AKL should depart an hour late.

The 0910 hours SYD-AKL-JFK, QF3 (B789 VH-ZNB) was still in the early stage of taxiing as at 0950 hours, so AKL gate arrival looks to be about 1435, half an hour tardy.

Colleague ZNM is on 'the 10' from LHR to PER that should be at its arrival gate at 1221 hours local time, 41 minutes behind schedule.

A388 VH-OQB on QF2 is arriving SIN tonight at 1808 hours, 43 minutes late.

A333 VH-QPC on QF81, the weekly flight from SYD to SIN at 1025 hours is forecast to depart 55 minutes late. One assumes this flight operates so the Finnair wet-leased aircraft can have a day off for maintenance.

The AKL-SYD QF142 has B738 VH-VYZ and is arriving at 1006 hours, 49 minutes late.

hey - some info from flightradar 24- QF 29 to HKG today looks like going to depart late on VH-QPF, but the aircraft had landed in Melbourne as QF 30 from HKG was on time at 0739 this morning... I wonder what is happening on this flight??

Update: Took off at 1305 - and now scheduled to arrive 2005 - 2 hrs behind!

Continuing with Friday 27 September, QF295, the 0950 hours SYD-BKK took off at 1108 with A333 OH-LTR. Arrival at gate should be 50 minutes late at 1730.
