What are the factors causing the late arrivals that do not affect other airlines to the same extent? Is is a case of trying to turn the a/c around in too short a time?

When I was working on the ground at Auckland Int'll I would knock of work at 2am or whenever the last flight had passed through - Unfortunaty It was always QF39 out of Melbourne and Im sure it must have been months and months that it was constantly late by at least 20mins then one day I read in the paper that QF was having dep. time problems.

The case above could not have been due to Melb ATC or Wx. etc as an Air NZ flight arrived from Melbourne only an hour earlier - usually on time
