| Aug 27, 2019 at 22:09 | comment | added | jcaron | My understanding is that this depends on the airline, with some publishing which aircraft will be operating which flight in advance (though I don’t quite know through what means), while for others you will get the info only once the flight is ready to depart. IIRC FlightAware (or is it Flightradar24?) has a « track incoming flight » button for this purpose, not quite sure how reliable that is. Maybe it’s just heuristics... | |

| Aug 2, 2019 at 13:11 | comment | added | Robert Alexander | Thank you this makes a lot of sense and it might be a good reason for which sometimes nobody seems to know. But in my Mykonos example once I got the inbound flight number and THAT was delayed by 2.5 hours I had a good estimate :) | |

But if they have many flights there, the dispatcher can reassign the planes at any time as the dispatcher, and only the dispatcher, has the information needed to do the scheduling to minimise the disruption to the overall schedule. So until the dispatcher says something, even the other airline staff does not know. | |
