Birmingham: (BHX) - Expected Movements & Heads Up

[Matt995]

Well this is kind of odd...
FR24 is showing a Thomas Cook A321 heading to Abu Dhabi, perhaps it's an error or something?

Maintenance and re-paint into full Thomas Cook colours for G-TCVA, I believe G-TCVB is currently on route as I type this, AUH-AYT-BHX , after its maintenance and re-paint, one to look out for at BHX in the next few days to see its new coat of paint!!

Sad times, the last traces of Monarch gone.

TC-TJI Corendon Airlines 737 arrived from Marrakech this morning, just about to depart for Manchester 12.15.

Saw it land from the Fort but never had my camera sadly as it's a beautiful clear day.

G-VYGM arriving from Brize Norton just flew over my house, in the past I would have assumed it was for the Monarch hangar but I'm not sure why it would be visiting now?

For some reason Iberia used a mainline A320 (EC-MUK) on this morning's flight, and this afternoon we have a Travel Service B739 due in from Prague on the Czech/Smartwings service (not sure who's in charge over there!)

Funnily enough I was just about to post this, maybe it's going to be going to Ashgabat on behalf of Turkmenistan as their inbound is cancelled and the outbound seems to be still operating. Not too sure though as it looks like the Wamos maybe in, I actually can't tell as I haven't been up to the airport.

 

[JENNYJET]

Passed over my billet also, wondering if JET2 are going to operate this weekend as the Monarch facility has closed. Cannot find anything special on FRI4 lists.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Wamos is operating the return back to Ashgabat, currently somewhere over Romania.

When I went past earlier G-VYGM was on one of the 40's stands with Wamos on one of the 50's. I can't remember the last time we had two A330's on stand at the same time?

 

[Matt995]

showing on the Thomas Cook website, Condor B753 D-ABOL due Saturday 16:08, operating Fridays delayed MT1223 from Tenerife

 

[Matt995]

D-ABOL landed 17:00 and due to turn around empty back to Tenerife

 

[Ray Finkle]

This morning's Turkish is A321 TC-JMK.

Czech Airlines is 739 OK-TSM.

FR24 shows Eurowings A320 D-ABDU in the Hertz Livery and Air India VT-ANU in Star Alliance Livery due later, subject to change of course.

FR24 showing All Nippon Airways 767 due in BHX at 13.10. Not sure if it's a mistake.

 

[Ryan Kirkpatrick]

I think it might be a mistake given the time & the fact I can't track the aircraft reg It would be somewhere over Russia by now

 

[thunderchild]

Turkish Airlines A330 TC-JIL currently en route.

 

[Ray Finkle]

A321 TC-JSB is on TK1969/70.

 

[jfy1999]

D-ABDU is due in again this evening.

I have also just noticed that two of the three Thomas Cook aircraft currently here (G-TCDP and EC-NAD) have Condor titles!

 

[Ianbutty]

RAF Avia ATR fairly silently just passed over my house in Essex. Inbound to BHX from Frankfurt.

Followed by a air Ukraine alliance antonov from Luton to Tel Aviv. Night of the props.

 

[JENNYJET]

Royal Airforce Voyager ZZ333 just arrived ex Brize Norton. Would be nice to know it's purpose!

I saw it depart this morning, one of a few interesting movements today as this morning we had easyJet A320neo G-UZHH from Belfast and KLM use a Transavia 738 (PH-HZE).

Vueling put an A320neo (EC-NAX) on their flight which I believe is a first.

 

[mullion]

Yes I saw the Voyager from home in Stockport on climb out.
The Neo VY A320 are rare in UK
