Yes and as per usual MAN will be utter chaos, all in the name of football.

I will get my coat now

Now I`m not a Red or a Blue fan but thats a bit bitter but my team is at Wembly on Sunday so can`t complain

 

[Karl C]

My home town team is also at Wembley on Sunday

 

[JENNYJET]

Good luck to those that have teams at Wembley Sunday. My team will be there soon after to face the incredible hulk and his mates.

If I'm right would this be the first time a Qatar 777 has visited BHX

No, B777-300 A7-BAN diverted into BHX (19 Jan), due snow at MAN. Have there been any others?

Ah right Maybe the first Qatar 777-200LR then I am tempted to say first 777-200LR that has visited but Turkmenistan used to send one

I believe that Emirates have also occasionally used the B777-200LR.

Emirates used the 777-200LR when they restarted operations to BHX in 2020

I didn't know that

 

[Scania1800]

PIA very occasionally used the 777-200LR too in the past

Turkmenistan too

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

Turkmenistan too

I did mention Turkmenistan I thought PIA used the 777-200ER but obviously I was wrong I know the used the 77W

 

[Timberwolf]

DIdnt Air India also put some B772LRs into BHX VT-ALF,ALG ?

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Do you I was so fed up earlier I just thought I’d take it upon myself to write the Jet2 flight schedule for this winter All going well and good until I get to the Spain part where I thought it would be daily flights to Alicante until it given me an extra flight on a Saturday make that a 2nd daily flight.honestly I got so fed up with writing the schedule down I literally chucked it in the bin.Going so well that there was extra flights and seats included this winter.Any rant over.

Looks like it will be a quieter winter for Jet2 this year

 

[davecleaver777]

Surely this is our best year for ages in regards new airlines, routes etc

The England women's football team will be leaving for Australia soon ( Women's World Cup). As they are currently training at St George's Park, Burton on Trent, does anyone know if they will follow the men's tradition of leaving from BHX?. If so, when?.
