Expected Movements & Heads Up

Apologies if this has been mentioned somewhere else, but who is doing the maintenance? Has someone now taken over the Monarch hangar?

Apple aviation carrying out engine changes, Adhoc hangar use.

If your interested yesterdays EK39 was delayed due to an aircraft swap, the original aircraft had an issue with one of it door slides not arming.

Thank you I thought someone must know. Hadn't heard of them, but with all the talk of Orange it's nice to know Apple are here

Turkish Airlines' afternoon flight is a 321neo - TC-LSF. They also used a 321 this morning.

School holidays have started so many off to Turkey and beyond and lots of upgrades up our way too

The upgrades are mainly due to Hajj, with the return A330 for Hajj on 22nd Aug

Don`t mind which it is but have had 14 A330 so far this month up here

Anyway back to Turkish Airlines at BHX

 

[Ray Finkle]

Yes, I think we are at the point where posts will be moved to other, more appropriate, sections of FFA where they can be more relevant to the audience.

If the strikes go ahead we may end up with more Emirates.

Going by last Monday's FR24 could be the mid-afternoon EK31, but probably better EK7 at 7am to get it in and out well before EK39. A trial run for the re-introduction of the 3rd daily?

 

[JENNYJET]

Wondering if any other A380 will be diverted apart from the expected one.....I.e. BA, that would be wonderful to see at Birmingham.

Why would a trial be needed? 3 daily operated no problem while it lasted.The withdrawal had nothing to do with BHX ops
777 it may have been but they were coping with a number of long haul arrivals around the same time back then. Most no longer operating.

True of course, but I was thinking of a 3rd daily A380. Not really a trial, more a toe in the water to see if everyone liked the idea

 

[Creguk]

Imagine if the stand wasn't available and they had to use coaches to ferry the passengers to the terminal.

EK7 still bookable direct to LHR on Emirates site, so must be keeping their options open.
