Their scheduled arrival time is 7:45 local, try turning up in DXB, LHR, FRA 60-90 minutes early, they knew they were going to be early before they even pushed back. They started their descent into SYD before the airport had even opened and touched down around 6:35. The whole world knows Sydney has a curfew, delays are always expected when the runway opens while they clear the amount of traffic backed up because of the curfew. They are also aware of the updated forecasts including the SIGMET for conditions to get worse in the Sydney area for their arrival time.
