United Airlines Delays/Cancellations

Thursday 29 June 2023 sees B789 N19986 on UA60 from SFO to MEL likely to arrive at gate at 0858 hours, 43 minutes late. Fortunately the 1055 hours returning flight, UA61, has a greater than minimum turnaround allowance so there's a chance it could punctually depart.

UA863 from SFO but to SYD is similar, with B773ER N2748U suggested as arriving shortly at 0802 hours, 62 late. UA870 returning is the 1025 hours so again, it could well depart at or close to time. It's good when airlines don't insist on 90 minute turnarounds at 'outstations'.
 
On Tuesday 8 August 2023, UA60 from SFO down to MEL (B789 N19951) was as at 0831 hours in a holding pattern above Mt Buller, Victoria so expected at gate arrival becomes 0900 hours or later, so at least 45 minutes tardy. There is some fog in the Melbourne region.

Still very foggy in Melbourne now - now at the streets in the east part of Melbourne and low visibility
 
Friday 30 August 2024 sees UA863 from SFO to SYD (B773ER N2243U) arriving at 0811, 71 minutes late. Hopefully this won't delay the returning 1020 hours to SFO, UA870, too much.
 
UA842, Sunday 1 September's 0930 hours SYD-LAX (B789 N15969) took off at 1122 so same day arrival should be 0731 hours, 86 minutes behind schedule.
 
UA870 (Monday 16 September's 1020 hours SYD to SFO with B773ER N2341U) took off at 1145, so arrival is delayed by 44 minutes to 0739 hours, same day.
