CZ 359 / 360 CAN-DEL-CAN Delays..
Hi just wanted to find out if anyone from CZ sources have any ideas why is this flight often delayed?? ETA is 1830 arrival into DEL 2130 local, been looking at flightaware the flights been departing between 1915-2033 and thus arriving late into DEL, reason being I am hoping to catch up with friends flying in from YVR-CAN and to DEL on CZ.
Is it due to the aircraft? it's a B757 (one of the older in the CZ fleet) technical glitches? late incoming aircraft in CAN?
cheers

I am more interested in the flight operations to be honest
, as I am curious to know why is this flight often delayed, are CZ renowned for late departures? I know for a fact that sometimes ex DEL flights can get delayed, AI is renowned for late departures is it the same case with CZ?? ^

IME CZ flights operate generally on time, but this is based on their domestic routes, not long haul.
DL crew have told me that there are frequent air traffic control delays around major mainland China airports due to congestion. That would be my best guess, perhaps sometimes exacerbated by weather problems.
