Birmingham: (BHX) - Expected Movements & Heads Up

[nwoody2001]

Remember that BHX Only have 4 388 comparable stands (I believe??) ...only 1x has double level air bridges, only 2 have air bridge access with the other 2 being remote.

Anything more than 2x 388s on the ground tomorrow may be manageable but pretty horrific for pax! By the looks of it, BHX could be in line to receive 4x EK 388s through the day tomorrow!

And then of course, at the last minute, the strike will be called off and we won't see anything.

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

I would guess that Emirates will have first refusal on any available A380 'slots'. Anyway, BA would probably rather crash-land them in the Thames than send them north.

They'll send them to London City 😀

The morning Emirates has now been cancelled, instead we have EK8031 due at 16:10.

Monday's strike has now been called off, talks still ongoing about Tuesday.

So where is the Emirates flight going? Their help desk on Twitter say it's coming to BHX.

Looking through the LHR arrivals on FR24, all of the EK flighs are shown as 'scheduled'. AI131 however is showing as 'diverted'.
So BHX may still get that flight if it has been re-scheduled.

Further to this, AI130 LHR - BOM is showing as 'cancelled'. Whilst an AI130 is showing BHX - BOM, departing 14.00.

Air India should still be coming with VT-ALQ due around 11:36.

EK8031 is still on BHX arrivals but may now go direct to LHR.

VT-ALQ will be at BHX around 1130
BHX was going to take 2 X EK388 and at least one TK321 but I believe now all canx.

Cracking picture 👍

I was just leaving work as it departed, great sight to see.

Wish we could get these on the Delhi flights. Miss seeing the 773 at BHX on a regular basis.

Obviously not going to happen now, but BHX arrivals shows THREE extra Emirates A380's pencilled in for today EK7,29,31. We'll probably never know if they were all going to drop in, but imagine 5 A380's in one day!

A nice one for the photographers, A330 VP-BHD is currently over Northampton and due very soon.
