The ultra long haul flights depart after sunset. I fail to see the point of this considering how short the flights are out of there during the bulk of the day. I’m not aware of any offloading problems at Adelaide due to heat.

Melbourne would probably benefit more with such a trial. Two problem flights in high temps are the Virgin and Etihad 777 arvo departures which are often restricted.
