I believe QF’s a380 maintenance is done at LAX - or at least part of it. So that’s the reason why delays often happen as they really are waiting for the engineers to sign off the work that’s been done that day. Fairly common for an hour or two delay.

The alternative to BNE would be a delay for pax of 24 hours. Not ideal.
