BHX can look forward next week to the usual Irish invasion for Cheltenham with Ryanair taking the lions share plus Aer Lingus with extra capacity although no 747s of days gone by.

Hope the airport have got the Guinness in ☺

I miss those Aer Lingus 747's for Cheltenham, although Ryanair were not on the scene as i recall.
It seemed a very intense operation from the Monday evening to the Thursday night ( Cheltenham finished on Thursdays in years gone by).

AirX Charter A343 9H-BIG is showing on FR24 due in 06.30 Sunday. AXY560W from Jeddah.

First visit for that aircraft I believe. I notice it’s in a VIP configuration. Could it be for someone who owns racehorses at Cheltenham?

most likely connected to Formula One, as the race yesterday was in Jeddah, maybe bringing Christian Horner back to his home town of Leamington Spa!!!

They have done previously, if the runway is closed.

Don't want to take the thread too far off track but considering EMA's bread and butter is overnight cargo flights you'd think they'd do this sort of work in the day after the bucket and spade flights have all departed before they start coming back, it's very quiet for most parts of the day...

Northern Lights flight Kevin, departure & arrival was showing on the airports website, so its a passenger flight.

Please can you post them under each airline's individual forum (e.g. Birmingham Airport Forum > Easyjet, Ryanair etc). The BHX Movements and Heads Up thread is for one off flights, sports charters etc. This helps to keep the forum neater and more easily searchable.

Thanks.
