Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

This aircraft VH-QPG (A333) had suffered multiple extreme delays from HKG last few days until 13/01 but this is happening again!!

@Melburnian1 this looks like the fleet needs urgent overhaul!!

On Wednesday 15 January 2025, A333 VH-QPJ on QF59 (1200 'high noon' SYD-HND) took off at 1613 hours so gate arrival should be 2333 hours, 213 minutes behind schedule. This is because the plane arrived today at 1206 hours (86 late) as QF88 from ICN.

The 2200 hours (tonight) QF60 (HND-SYD) is optimistically showing as departing Japan at 0025 hours local time on Thursday 16.

A333 VH-QPG on Wednesday 15 is operating empty ('ferry') flight QF6013, a 1715 hours ex BNE airborne at 1758 hours.

Due to the Sydney/NSW storms, it's had a most unusual flight pattern, flying over the Pacific from south of Seal Rocks, resuming flying over land at Nowra and then being in a holding pattern near Goulburn. Gate arrival looks to be about 2134, two hours late.

Hey, I'm supposed to be on the QF11 this afternoon. Trying to track the inbound QF64, but appears to have not left SA. Flight tracker etc haven't been updated for more than an hour. Wondered if there was any info somewhere as to what is happening? Presumably Elon's debris again.

It’s enroute. Took off 3 hours ago, albeit close to 2 hours late.

That aircraft has issues. I was on the same airframe last week and it took off 3 hours late. It had to taxi back to the gate for repairs.
