This is most probably another delivery flight, there was one on 20th April 2023 according to simple flying. It says flight time was 7hrs 20mins. So fingers crossed this will fly to BHX tomorrow. Does anyone know if it will be put in the hanger and if so around what time? Thanks

So this could be a permanent Tui Airways plane?

No for Air Canada but they have been accepting the aircraft at Birmingham and then the go to STS

Not departed yet but showing Reg C-GYJW on Flightradar24

Looks more promising.

Strange delivery flight. Would have though it would have gone to somewhere like YYZ.

I thought so too but it happened on the 20th April 2023 so it's possible

Appears to be, their previous brand new of the line C-GWUU Prod Number 1147 as per your image came off the production on its first flight from Charleston to STS at BHX 20/4/23

This is the next brand new one they've had since then, C-GYJW Prod Number 1174 and appears to be coming to STS from Charleston for the same reason the previous one did perhaps?

They have 1 more 787-9 Prod 1225 to be delivered from their order but still on production line and quite away, away yet if there only is a 27 number difference between the 2 we have had/got so far in nearly a year, according to a website i've seen with all 787 deliveries (can't link it)

As reported above. Please read previous posts, so that we can avoid duplication.

After failing to show up this morning, Air Canada B787-9 (AC2358) is again showing for tomorrow at 19:13. Assuming it operates, I guess it will still be C-GYJW. Yesterday's 19:40 dep from CHS changed to 20:40 then 'unknown'. I couldn't see it noted in Ian's blog. We'll see if it arrives this time.

[EDIT] - Nothing showing on Ian's blog regarding the Air Canada B787-9 on Ian's blog for Fri 02/02/24.

Also due in tomorrow according to Ian's blog Air India A319 VT-ECB from Tbilisi to Keflavick,no times given.

So tomorrow as it stands three Air India tommorow A319, 788 and the elusive 789

Surely, you mean Air Canada for the B789.

 

[rollo]

So I do, getting carried away-sorry folks.

Also due in tomorrow according to Ian's blog Air India A319 VT-ECB from Tbilisi to Keflavick,no times given.

According to Ian's blog, the Air India A319 is VT-SCB, not VT-ECB and is a first visit. Searching FR24 for VT-SCB, shows it to be currently at Tbilisi (TBS). No departure time showing to BHX.

[EDIT] - FR24 is now showing the Air India A319 due into BHX at 12:33.

 

[rollo]

The Air India A319 VT-SCB just passing Bucharest arrival showing as 13:54 and departure to Reykjavik 14:16 which seems rather a short time even for a splash and dash.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Air Canada B787-9 (C-GYJW, AC2358) from YYZ now showing as delayed until 21:15 (if it operates).

Already left and just passing thru FL300

FR24 showing Magma Aviation B747-400F (TF-AKD, ABD394) from DWC, due at 08:12. Due to depart to HHN at 09:30 as ABD345P.

Once again originating in Hong Kong, and just about to land DWC as i type.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

I wonder if DWC is just a tech stop? Being Icelandic registered, it's likely avoiding Russian airspace and HKG to DWC looks to be a 9 hour flight. A further 7+ hours to BHX, would put a non-stop flight in the region of 18 hours. May be pushing it for a B747-400, especially if heavily loaded with freight.
