State of Kuwait Airbus A320 9K-AKD due in to Sydney this afternoon at approximately 1640.

The "State of Kuwait" livery is very similar to the Kuwait Airways livery.

Timing originally showed as 1920 so it may be later.

[Mark T]

State of Kuwait Airbus A320 9K-AKD on final approach to 16L now at 1654.

Monarch 757 tonight at 7pm out Wed at 10am to AKL.

That would be G-MONJ if I am not mistaken.

Please excuse my ignorance and lack of aviation knowledge, but why is this very rare?

[NathanJ]

normally 777-200LR 99.9 percent of the time.

[JamesL]

And also the B77W would be load restricted if it did operate to SY unlike the B77L

Evenign all,

MH141/140 tonight is being operated by A330-300 9M-MTK. It is about to touch down in Sydney. This will be a permanent change from tonight...

[Ricky T]

Domestic configured A332 VH-EBP operated the delayed QF71 PER-SIN service this evening.

Looks like the original aircraft VH-EBG (which came in from SYD as QF575) had gone AWOL.

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

A couple new A330'sre are making their 1st visit to Sydney tonight...

Malaysia Airlines A330-300 9M-MTJ is operating MH141/140, due at 2015 .

Hawaiian Airlines A330-200 N390HA is operating HA451/452 due at 2045.

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

Another A330 1st visitor today was China Eastern A330-200 B-5903 which operated MU735/736.

[Hendra Barnes]

Hi all,

Just a question, which may lead to it being noteworthy.

ETD454 tonight. Was trying to find an ETA but flightaware status is scheduled, whilst the arrival time is showing a rather odd time of 17.43EST, instead of the usual 19-20.00 hours.

Shouldn't this flight be on it's way already? I believe A6-ETM is the aircraft in question. Has the radar not picked her movements up?

Any info would be nice.

Thanks,
Hendra

Service Interruption
Due to a temporary Australian flight data interruption, information on this page may be delayed or unavailable.

That may well be your answer Hendra, radar just hasn't picked up her movements.

[Stefan Perkas]

It seems that Thai Cargo TG866 is still in Sydney after missing the curfew. Not sure what the revised departure will be. But hopefully it will be in daylight.

[Nigel C]

[Tim Bowrey]

VH-OQK is now wearing 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show Express' titles near the flightdeck. Just departed as QF107 to LAX to bring herself as well as the competition winners back to Sydney Friday morning apparently. The titles are quite small and pretty much invisable from long distance.

[Morris Biondi]

VCJ, the new snowmobil, my nickname for it, the new A319, is in at 17:50 and out at 18:35.

[Sarah C]

Did you get a photo of VH-OQK Tim?

Something a little bit different from Singapore this afternoon with 9V-SWG 77W operating the SQ231/222 today.

[Stefan Perkas]

It was Gulfstream 4 HB-JUS routing Canberra-Sydney.

Thanks you, Stefan. It looks as though he got lost on the way or did he take the scenic route?

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

China Eastern A330-200 B-5902 made its 1st visit today operating MU735/736.
