On Wednesday 27 April, the forecast delay to QF19 of an hour became longer with A333 VH-QPI arriving in SYD as QF513 from BNE, the at gate time in the former becoming 1039 hours, six minutes early. It would have toddled across to the international terminal, with takeoff at 1439 meaning suggested MNL arrival at gate at 2023 tonight, 93 late and only 12 minutes before QF20 is supposed to push back.
B789 VH-ZNK came in from JNB and was at its SYD gate today at 1323, two minute early, a creditable performance. It then more or less immediately was prepared for QF7, the 1540 hours SYD - DFW that wasn't up up and away until 1723 hours, so expected Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas arrival is 1701, 61 minutes tardy. The limited time in Sydney is good utilisation but there's not much recovery time if the inbound '64' is delayed for any reason.
B738 VH-VZY is operating QF43 on Wednesday 27, the 1625 hours SYD - DPS that was airborne at 1728 for estimated at gate arrival at 2139 hours, 34 minutes late mid evening local time up there.
