EK419

[Trevor Sinclair]

I have been monitoring EK419 CHC-SYD-BKK-DXB over the past week as we are flying a couple of these sectors soon. The flight is often late, but today I was astounded.

According to Flight Stats the aircraft was late out of Christchurch 18 minutes late out at 4:13pm, however, arrival time in Sydney is shown as 8:20pm - 185 minutes late!

Did this flight have to return to the gate? It's a QF code share so perhaps our Sarah C or someone of similar connections may be able to reveal the issue with this flight which only has a 60% on time rating.

Thanks in anticipation.
