Philippine Airlines Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

On Sunday 7 April, the 1640 hours PR207 from MNL down to MEL did not take off until 2343 hours. Arrival is expected on Monday 8 at about 0933, 393 minutes late with A333 RP-C8786. Yetsrday this aircraft had arrived in MNL at 1717 hours, 157 late on PR210 ex MEL, but then was badly delayed for 'the 207.'

The 0440 hours MEL - MNL (PR208) will be delayed until at least 1050 in its departure.

On Tuesday 9 April, PR208 was again late, taking off from MEL at 0636 hours and arriving MNL at 1225 hours, 95 late. Aircraft was A333 RP-C8784.

The delay was probably due to the aircraft subbing as it came in to MNL on Monday on PR101 from HNL, arriving at 1713 (43 late) to form the scheduled 1640 hours MNL - MEL PR207 that was in the sky at 1900, arriving MEL at 0450 hours, 110 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

PR207 on Wednesday 10 April, the 1640 hours took off at 1847 so Thursday 11 MEL arrival should be 0435, 95 late. This will delay the returning PR208, the 0440 hours to a revised pushback of at least 0550.

A333 RP-C8780 was 139 minutes late arriving in MEL on Wednesday (PR209) at 0839 with PR210, the 0800 from MEL airborne at 1033 for an 84 minute late arrival in MNL at 1604. A 36 minute turnaround to form an on time PR207 was impossible.

Friday 12 April 2019 sees PR209 (A333 RP-C8783, the Thursday night 2000 hours MNL - MEL airborne at 2208) arriving at 0804 hours, 144 late. The 0800 hours PR210 will be delayed until at least 0920 hours.

PR211, the Thursday night MNL - SYD due to depart at 2225 took off at 2355 but diverted to DVO, possibly for a fuel topup. This is the first time a MNL - SYD flight with an A321 (RP-C9933) has done this that I've seen. It took off from DVO at 0221 hours so arrival in SYD should be at 1113 hours, 148 minutes later then the scheduled 0845 hours. Returning flight PR212 will be delayed until at least 1230, two hours late in pushing back.

 

[Melburnian1]

A333 RP-C8780, Tuesday 16 April 2019's PR209 (2000 hours MNL down to MEL) was airborne at 2132 with arrival on Wednesday 17 at 0706 hours, 46 late, delaying the 0800 PR210 returning flight until at least 0820 in pushback.

The MNL - SYD redeye, PR211 has A321 RP-C9936 with its 2225 hours scheduled Tuesday 16 departure turning into a 2330 hours takeoff. On Wednesday 17, arrival should be at 0936, 51 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

RP-C9936, an A321, on PR211 from MNL to SYD should arrive on Monday 22 April at 1002, 77 late. This will delay the returning PR212.

 

[Melburnian1]

PR211 on Tuesday 30 April is arriving SYD (ex MNL) at 0921, 36 late with A321 RP-C9936.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Wednesday 1 May 2019, PR212, the 1030 hours SYD - MNL (RP-C9925) deparetd SYD at 1200 'high noon', 90 late but then diverted to DRW. It was airborne from the latter at 2058 tonight so must have been in the Territory capital for a few hours.

When PR207 (1645 hours MNL - MEL) was an A321neo for a few weeks recently, it had to call in at DVO a few times for what AFFer Quickstatus calls a 'splash and dash' but I've not seen a northbound PR flight doing this. Did today's become defective?

 

[Melburnian1]

Tuesday 21 May 2019 found PR209, the 2000 hours redeye from MNL to MEL not taking off until 2245 with A333 RP-C8786. There was no obvious delay reason as the aircraft had been there for several hours. MEL arrival on Wednesday 22 was at 0831, 131 late, but it turned around quickly to form PR210, with this 0800 hours MEL - MNL taking off at 1001 for projected afternoon arrival at 1605, 85 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

PR207, the 1640 hours Wednesday 22 May 2019 MNL down to MEL did not take off until 2028, so A333 RP-C8786 is not predicted to arrive on 23 May until 0508 hours, 88 late. This will delay PR208.

 

[Melburnian1]

Sunday 26 May 2019's PR211, the 2225 hours MNL down to SYD (A321 RP-C9936) did not take off until 0024 on Monday 27 so arrival should be at about 1014, 89 late. This will delay PR212, the 1030 hours SYD - MNL to about 1135 in its pushback.

 

[Melburnian1]

A333 RP-C8781 on PR210, the 0800 hours MEL - MNL (Sunday 2 June 2019) took off at 0901 with arrival suggested as 1515, 35 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

The overnight MNL down to SYD, PR211 (A321 RP-C9934) should arrive on Sunday 9 June at 1018, 93 late. This will delay the 1030 hours PR212 back to about 1130 in pushing back.

 

[Melburnian1]

Sunday 9 June 2019's PR211 (2225 hours MNL - SYD) did not take off until 0224 on Monday 10, so arrival for A321 RP-C9934 is estimated as 1211 hours, 206 late. This will delay PR212, the 1030 hours SYD - MNL to at least 1325 in pushback.

 

[Melburnian1]

A333 RP-C8781 on PR209, the 2000 hours Tuesday 18 June MNL - MEL redeye took off at 2131, so arrival on Wednesdsay 19 was at 0703, 43 late.

 

[Melburnian1]

RP-C8780 (A333) on PR209 from MNL down to MEL arrived on Friday 21 June at 0636, 16 late but the returning PR210, the 0800 hours, did not take off until 0944. MNL arrival should be 1555, 75 late.

UPDATE: Upon arriving MNL at 1606 hours, 86 late, this aircraft returned to MEL as PR207, taking off at 1804, about an hour late given timetabled pushback is 1640. MEL arrival on Saturday 22 is estimated as 0332, 32 late. In turn this will delay PR208, the 0440 hours MEL - MNL.

 

[Melburnian1]

Wednesday 26 June 2019 has PR209, the 2000 Tuesday 25 MNL down to MEL (A333 RP-C8781) arriving 56 minutes late at 0716 hours. This will delay the 0800 hours return PR210 to MNL.

 

[Melburnian1]

On Friday 28 June 2019, PR210 (0800 hours MEL - MNL) took off at 0910 with suggested arrival 1514, 34 late for A333 RP-C8785.

 

[Melburnian1]

With SYD experiencing some fog earlier on Saturday 29 June 2019's morning, PR211 (Friday night's 2225 hours MNL down to SYD that took off at 2349), about an hour late with A321 RP-C9932) should arrive at 0955, 70 late although at 0926 it was still holding south of Singleton.

PR212 then departed at 1117 hours, 47 late with MNL arrival suggested as 1742, 52 late.'

Earlier, PR208 (RP-C8785) departed MEL 20 late at 0519, taking off at 0518 and arriving MNL at 1143, 53 late.

Sunday 7th of July sees PR211 diverting to MEL (A333 RP-C8786). The aircraft is currently airborne, with suggested arrival at 12 04. The return leg to MNL as PR212 has a revised departure at 12 45, although I'd dare to say the turnaround will be longer.
