What's The Deal With QF031 / QF231
Greetings,
QF flights QF005 and QF031 are delayed very often into Singapore from Australia. What's the problem?
Furthermore, for the past two days, QF31 has been cancelled and replaced with QF231 which arrives in LHR about 5 hours after QF31 should be arriving.
Qantas USA has no explanation.
Can FlyerTalk do better?

VH-OEE is back in service (and has been for a number of days) and operated QF 12 LAX-BNE-SYD today (Fog diversion).
QF 31 had a scheduled delayed departure ex SYD (on 22/06) as a result of maintenance requirements (thanks to VH-OEE). QF 31 was simply renumbered QF 231 on this particular day.
Flight was re-scheduled a number of weeks ago and PAX were made aware of the delayed departure time.
On a related matter, with -OEE being down, both the flights mentioned by Singapore_Air (where is the Ltd. huh?
), in particular QF 31/32, have been affected due to tight scheduling and the 744 fleet being used to 'the max'.
