The Boeing 737-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 15 at YBCS Cairns International Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered approximately 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 15, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 153 kt and became airborne after traveling 1,349 m, which represented 42 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 24 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 170°, providing a 4 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind component.

Climb commenced over Edge Hill, Queensland, with the airplane ascending from 976 ft asl to 38,010 ft asl, an increase of 37,034 ft achieved in 36 minutes while covering 257 nm.

Level cruise began 34 miles south-east of Lockhart River, Queensland, and persisted for 331 minutes, during which the flight covered 2,749 nm.

Descent was initiated 46 miles south-east of RJFG New Tanegashima Airport, Japan, with the aircraft descending from 37,568 ft asl to 1,850 ft asl, a loss of 35,719 ft in 18 minutes and a distance of 122 nm.

The final approach to runway 34 at RJFK Kagoshima Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 330.0°, intercepting the glide path at 3 nm and 956 ft agl.

Landing on runway 34 was executed with a threshold speed of 128 kt; touchdown occurred 395 m down the runway at 120 kt and a vertical speed of minus 85 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 4.2 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 29 °C, wind 2 kt from 119°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

Runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 786 m, representing 26 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was described as very good.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, traveling less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 3,134 nm, required 392 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 18,854 kg of fuel.
