It took off from MEL at 1152 hours with SYD arrival suggested as 1305 this afternoon. 185 minutes late. The aircraft should then form MH122, the 1325 hours SYD - KUL with departure possible from about 1420 if all goes well.
Given the diversion, this isn't a bad result, showing how useful it can be for international airlines to schedule longer than minimum turnarounds when slot availability and costs permit.
