Just the Melbourne-Perth QF9 & Perth-Melbourne QF10 sectors were delayed/cancelled after ZNC took over the MEL-HKG-MEL service from ZNJ. QF10 arrivals in Perth from LHR have turned around to operate the PER-LHR sector of QF9 for these two days - see reports on The Qantas Source. The other effect of ZNJ's absence is the cancellation of today's QF49/QF50 MEL-SFO rotation.
If ZNJ continues to be unavailable, then more of the same.
There certainly seem to be issues with ZNJ - it took over the HKG route immediately after the 2nd Project Sunrise flight when ZND went to Melbourne Maintenance. Did 10 HKG rotations through either SYD or MEL (mostly MEL) - all flights of less than 10 hours duration, then 7 days in Melbourne Maintenance. Followed this by 7 days MEL-HKG-MEL, and now another (at least) two days in Melbourne Maintenance.
Also begs the question, was the ZND move to LAX Maintenance made to free up space for ZNJ in Melbourne?
