Morning departure and about 12 hours behind the original schedule - Cathay Pacific flight 2174 departs off Rw 23 bound for Hong Kong. CP's semi-regular cargo only flights operate during the Covid-19 pandemic and border restrictions. These flights had commenced in June 2020 on Sunday mornings in and out of Adelaide for a few months before ceasing, routing HKG-SYD-ADL-HKG . They had recommenced on the same routing earlier in 2021 but were scheduled into Adelaide late on Saturday nights as the above flight had originally been. For reasons not known this leg had been delayed by approximately 12 hours allowing an opportunity for a daylight photo.
