[AviatorInsight]

VA820 (B737 VH-VBY), the 0830 hours SYD down to MEL on Tuesday 5 June took off at 0851 but had an unusual flight pattern, looping over itself southeast of the airport.

There's currently a couple of cells between SYD and WOL. The departure to MEL usually takes the aircraft to WOL then continues on the flight plan route. It seems to me that they were unable to track south because of the weather, so they've conducted the loop back over the top of the runway to join up with the route after WOL.

 

[Melburnian1]

In further on Tuesday 5 June 2018, ongoing rain and storms around SYD during the early evening have seen VA887 (1700 hours MEL - SYD that took off at 1812 hours, B738 VH-VBY) arriving at 1942 hours, 77 minutes tardy.

VA 1323 sitting on the ground in HBA, Fully loaded, now 20 min post scheduled departure. One of the pilots standing in the gallery talking to FA, door open. Has said strong winds in MEL to blame, late inbound to HBA. But we boarded almost on time and now just sitting.

25 min post scheduled departure, same condition.

VA 1323 sitting on the ground in HBA, Fully loaded...Has said strong winds in MEL to blame, late inbound to HBA. ...

Roo, where I am in Melbourne it's fairly windy: sufficient for a large shrub to have lost a limb.

At the airport though it looks to be windier with 44kmh north winds gusting to 50.

Your VA1323 (1235 hours HBA - MEL, B738 VH-YFL) took off at 1309 so arrival should be at 1417 hours, 27 late.
