Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[tomlee1986]

Looks like EBB has fallen ill in SYD after ferrying over from MEL resulting in the 24h delay for QF41.

There is also a 5-hour delay on the QF29 today resulting in a 1am departure for QF128 back to SYD from HKG tonight.

There was a delay on QF 29 yesterday as well on QPI - that arrived at 2006 instead of 1735

Today, the flight is operated by QPC

QF41 also appears to have been delayed for 24 hours, and QF43 is delayed 4 hours.

QF43/44 now changed to a 333 (was 332).

Tomorrow's QF43/44 also already delayed by 1hr 50min.

QF43 is now further delayed to 22.30, resulting in QF44 now departing DPS at an ungodly hour of 03.20 for a noon arrival into SYD tomorrow.

Tbh these delays is pointing towards 1 thing, these A332 & 333 fleet is being run to the ground!

As far as I can tell, from Sydney today the international A330 operations are:

QF103 Honolulu on-time
QF83 Singapore on-time

QF127 Hong Kong delayed 1 hr
QF87 Seoul delayed 1.5 hrs
QF19 Manila delayed 3.5 hrs
QF59 Tokyo delayed 1.5 hrs
QF43 Denpasar delayed 6 hrs
QF41 Jakarta delayed 24 hrs

Is this business as usual these days, or is the industrial action causing this? QF43 has been on the ground since arriving from Hong Kong earlier this morning.

Post automatically merged: Yesterday at 8:53 PM

QF43 is now further delayed to 22.30, resulting in QF44 now departing DPS at an ungodly hour of 03.20 for a noon arrival into SYD tomorrow.

Curfew is approaching.

the return flight from HKG to SYD on 128 - departed at 0213 instead of 1930 (16/12) - arriving at 1410 instead of 0745 - 6 hrs delay!

Rolling on with the A330 ops at SYD today:

• QF67 to BLR - running 4h+ late due to the late arrival of QF44 (QPI)
• QF87 to ICN - running 4h late due to the late arrival of QF128 (QPC)
• QF41 to CGK - running 1h late as they are probably ferrying EBN up from BNE to operate this flight
• QF43 to DPS - running 5h+ late possibly due to EBQ's ferry flight back from LAX arriving later than expected

Meanwhile in MEL, QF69 formed by the arriving QF38 (EBS) now also running 4h+ late.

Melbourne is not much better with the QF 29 to HKG is late again today! This time is the QPB - which did arrive from NRT on QF80 ONTIME this morning!

QF29 is only running 40 minutes late, which I consider as on-time by QF standards.

Now running over 8 hours late.

On today’s QF123 that’s just been cancelled after boarding. Issue with a navigation system required for ZQN.

Today’s QF122 delayed 40 minutes with a passenger vomiting after boarding. Call went out for a doctor, who assessed the passenger. The medical kit was opened, which then required an engineer to re-tag it. The doctor was then upgraded to 1A (I was in 1C), with the original 1A relegated to 4C. Each J pax party (around 4 or 5 across the 12 seats) then received a creatively wrapped bottle of wine and cheerful seasons greetings from the CSM. To top it off, we landed on runway 07 into SYD, first time I’ve ever noticed experiencing this. Eventful flight, but no complaints.
