Tigerair Australia Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

On Tuesday 24 November, TT270, the 2025 hours evening flight from SYD to MEL has just taken off at 2239 with arrival expected at about 2345, 105 minutes behind time. Aircraft is A320 VH-VNF.

TT504, the 1625 hours from HBA to MEL on Wednesday 25 November took off at 1844 and will be in MEL at 2013 tonight, 148 minutes late with VH-VNG the aircraft. There are fairly strong winds in Melbourne this evening.

TT535 is taxiing in SYD for its trip to ADL in the form of VH-VNB and will shortly join a queue of at least six other aircraft, so its timetabled departure of 0930 has long passed. It may be an hour late into ADL, delaying the return working TT636 that is meant to depart from ADL at 1140.

 

[Melburnian1]

Delayed by tonight's BNE and OOL storms, TT533 (VH-VNMF, an A320) has taken off from BNE about two hours late and should be in MEL at 2303 rather than 2105 hours. A large queue of aircraft needing to depart from BNE did not assist.

 

[Melburnian1]

TT264, the 1825 hours evening flight from MEL to SYD on Tuesday 1 December did not take off until 2016 so it is about an hour and a half late.

 

[Melburnian1]

TT501, the 0700 on Saturday 5 December from MEL to HBA did not take off until 0801 and hence is not due in the Apple Isle capital until 0856, 41 minutes late with A320 VH-VNR undertaking the task.

 

[Melburnian1]

Because of the Wednesday 9 December storms that struck in SYD from about 2000 hours, TT279, the 2025 hours from SYD to MEL took off at 2139 and hence should be at the gate in MEL at about 2305, 65 minutes behind time.

 

[Melburnian1]

The 11 December Friday evening TT264 from MEL to SYD has been delayed in its departure from 1825 to a suggested 2016 hours, with TT251, the 1615 hours arrival in MEL ex the NSW capital having been cancelled and therefore a likely contributor to the northboun's delay.

 

[Melburnian1]

Not a good way to commence a New Year, but TT556, the 1010 from MEL to OOL along with the later TT530, the mid afternoon 1530 hours MEL - BNE have been cancelled on New Year's Day 2016.

Not a good way to commence a New Year, but TT556, the 1010 from MEL to OOL along with the later TT530, the mid afternoon 1530 hours MEL - BNE have been cancelled on New Year's Day 2016.

You will find that TT421 from MEL-PER last night had a couple of attempts at landing in PER, but ended up diverting to GET. I would think this aircraft and crew would now be out of place. I haven't checked if it's made its way down to PER yet.

 

[Melburnian1]

mannej, many thanks and Happy New Year. That TT flight may have been due to form TT424 last night (Thursday 31 December), the redeye to MEL which from a quick check appears not to have run.

 

[Melburnian1]

The 0845 hours SYD to MEL, TT221 (A320 VH-VNG) did not take off until 1036 and therefore will not be in MEL until at least 1045, 25 minutes late.

TT269, the 1800 hours evening flight from SYD to MEL took off at 1911 and in the shape of A320 VH-VNB will be about 45 minutes down upon arrival in the southern capital.

 

[Melburnian1]

TT213, the 0835 arrival on Tuesday 5 January in MEL ex SYD (A320 VH-VNH) is badly delayed and expected at 1240. Melbourne Airport - Flight Information, Shopping & Parking does not show any outbound TT delays ex MEL but this is likely to be incorrect as with TT's small fleet it would be very rare for there to be a 'spare' sitting in MEL.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Thursday 14 January 2016, TT251, the 1440 hours SYD to MEL did not take off until 1748 and is therefore arriving in MEL at about 1908, 173 minutes late. Aircraft is A320 VH-VNH.

The 2145 hours SYD - MEL (TT287, operated by VH-VNG, an A320) took off at 2251 so was not that far off from missing the 2300 hours SYD curfew.

 

[Melburnian1]

Sunday 17 January's TT530 (A320 VH-VND), the 1550 hours from MEL to BNE did not take off until 1658 this afternoon. Arrival is expected to be about 55 minutes late at 1800 AEST.

 

[Melburnian1]

TT582 (A320 VH-VNQ) on Wednesday 17 February, the 0800 hours from MEL to CNS did not take off until 0923. It should arrive at about 1135, 70 minutes late.

UPDATE: TT585 (same aircraft) took off from CNS at 1208 (scheduled pushback from the gate was 1055) with MEL arrival suggested as 1622, 62 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

The Thursday 18 February 0700 SYD to MEL (TT213, VH-XUG) did not take off until 0756 and hence will not arrive until about 0916, 41 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

The 1330 hours Saturday 20 February TT461 (MEL to ADL, A320 VH-VNC) did not take off until 1449 this afternoon. TT462 back to MEL is forecast to arrive a bit before 1735, just under 50 minutes late.

TT258, the 1715 to SYD is expected to take off at 1809 this evening.

 

[Melburnian1]

With the well publicised 'unusual odour in cabin' and (alleged) 'smoke in cabin', TT511 from BNE to MEL landed safely at about 1000 this morning, Tuesday 1 March.

One interesting reported fact was that only 60 passengers were on board - a load factor of 33 per cent, showing again how quiet some flights can be on non-school holiday Tuesdays.

 

[Melburnian1]

On saturday 5 March, the 1645 afternoon TT256 is expected to be delayed for almost four hours and to take off at 2045 this evening.

This is because southbound TT251 is also four hours late, due into MEL at an amended time of 2015.

Earlier, TT238 from MEL, the 1310 hours flight took off at 1419 for SYD which was about 55 minutes late.
