I was merely making a remark about how chilly (and earlier, windy) it was down south. I wasn't questioning or criticising anything Regional Express did. All I described was that a flight was delayed, which is what this thread is about.
The flight departure to which I referred was from Sydney, not Melbourne. Apologies for using the word 'oddly'.
ZL3684, the 1825 hours early evening flight from MEL to MQL took off at 2026. Arrival of SAAB 340B VH-ZLQ is expected at about 2123, 98 minutes late.
