BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Matt995]

Yes its G-POWT for TUI from Stansted who also have a 737H C-GNCH coming in from Toronto (Sunwings?) today, details are on the BHX blog.

There's also 788 positioning in from Bristol but I'm sure that's part of the regular summer programme.

We are due to fly out with them next Thursday to Malta on a TUI charter for P&O I'm wondering if we might get a substitution wouldn't mine a last fling on a 757 with Privilege.

The Titan A321 G-POWT flew into BHX on a TOM flight code, as its previous flight was for TUI at LGW. Its due out on Saturday as ZT901 to Akrotiri at 11:30

The 788 from Bristol will be the weekly return of our based aircraft, which will position in/out of Bristol every week to operate their Orlando/Cancun flights.

Not aware that TUI should have any more planned aircraft substitutions now at BHX, as the Sunwing 738 has arrived earlier than expected, and the TUI 738 fleet are now all in service, with just 2 more 737 Maxs expected back in service shortly & 1 789 , G-TUIM has just gone to Abu Dhabi for maintenance

Rollo if you want another ride on a 757 don`t worry Jet2 are keeping theirs until 2026
and Icelandair still using them at present I know it is from MAN but at least not a million miles away.

...and I'm on the first Monday arrival into BHX with SunExpress from İzmir. Just need EasyJet to launch this route now and my life is complete

 

[Matt995]

next Sunwings 738 for TUI summer schedule is due on Sunday at 20:20 from Toronto, WG9153

not certain which reg it's going to be, but I believe it should be either C-FFPH or C-GOWG according to Jethros

 

[Matt995]

Sunwing now showing as C-FWGH

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Carpatair F100 (YR-FZA, KRP3782) due from MUC at 09:04, then due to depart to Leipzig (LEJ) at 10:15 (same flt number).

 

[JENNYJET]

I thought Carpatair was defunct ! An F100 is a rare bird indeed.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

I certainly hadn't heard of Carpatair for a while (wasn't one based at BHX a few years back for the summer season?). A quick search, finds Wikipedia stating 'Carpatair S.A. is a privately-owned Romanian charter and former regional airline headquartered in Timișoara' -

Carpatair - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Could it be the description of 'former regional airline', where the idea of it's demise originates?
Whatever, it would be good to see an F100 at BHX again. Hopefully, Airport Action will be there to record it.

Also noted as due on FR24, is Alpine Air Express B1900 (N210GL), due at 13:50. Over the last few days, it has routed Johannesburg (HLA) - Lilongwe (LLW) - Nairobi (NBO) - Jeddah (JED) - Heraklion (HER) - Belgrade (BEG) then, today to BHX and onwards to Leeds, But Leeds East Airport (QKM), not LBA.

 

[JENNYJET]

I thought it was a Danish operater, but I could easily be mistaken. However the Carpathian region lurks in my mind !

 

[mullion]

Definately Romanian probably one of the last chances of seeing an F100 but they do have an A319 as well

They streamed Yesterday so they wouldn't go live today if it returns on Monday Kev might capture it then

 

[Kevin Farnell]

According to FR24, it's due back tomorrow at 11:56 from LEJ as KRP3783. No departure from BHX yet showing.

FR24 is showing a Sunwings B737-800 (C-GNCH, SWG8001) operating BHX - BHX, STD 15:00 for a 2 hour flight (although ETD is showing as 16:15). I'm guessing that this is a training flight, as it's using a Sunwings callsign.

 

[jfy1999]

Another Sunwing 737 (C-FWGH, WG9153) is due from Toronto at 10:18 tomorrow.

EW9332 from Düsseldorf at 10:55 tomorrow is due to be an Air Baltic A220. This flight seems to operate regularly albeit only once a week.

 

[jfy1999]

Euro Atlantic 767 (CS-TST) arrived from LIS at 11:35 this morning and appears to be staying the night.

Thalair E145 (F-HFCN) is due to arrive from Paris Le Bourget around 0900 tomorrow morning. It still wears the special Union Jack scheme from its stint with Eastern Airways.
