Departed late from Muscat, and FR24 showing due 21.04E.

FR24 is also showing B737-800 (EI-FFC, FFA003) due from SNN at 16:42. No other details showing.

And EXS312T (AirExplore?) A321 due from NCL at 21:15. Again no further details showing.

EI-FFC is a Fly4 aircraft, and quite recently registered i believe.
It looks like Jet2 and TUI are getting their fleets ready for the summer season.

FR24 is showing Magma B747-400F (TF-AKD, ABD392) due at 07:37 from DWC (originated in HKG). No outbound from BHX showing yet. That's two 747's in two days!

Also, Enter Air B737-800 (SP-ENX, ENT195P) from Katowice (KTW) at 11:19. Again, no departure currently showing from BHX. Is this positioning in for TUI?

Titan A320 (G-POWM, AWC602) due from Braunschweig (BWE) at 16:23. Departs to STN at 18:05 as AWC560W.

Hi

There were Southwind flights showing for both LBA and LPL on Monday, neither of which turned up. So, I don't expect tomorrows flight to BHX to appear. There is some speculation that they are Russian backed and as such, have been stopped due to current sanctions. Or, it could be that the start date has been put back but the original flight plans have remained in the system.

Ian's site shows a A333 TC-MCM of MNG Airline operating freight due in this evening from Istanbul at 18:45 and it appears as routing from Hong Kong via Turkmenistan to Istanbul according to FR24 showing due in at BHX. 18:29

The blog shows it due to return to Istanbul at 20:45.

So this week we will have had four widebodie freight charters 2 x B744, a B777 and now a A333 and its only Wednesday

CAVOK An-12 (UR-CKM, CVK7075) is due from Rome (FCO) at 12:21. No departure from BHX showing.

Titan A320 (G-POWK,) is operating the Aurigny GR704/705 flights from/to Guernsey (GCI). ETA 12:25, ETD 13:10.

The MNG A333 TC-MCM showing as back in from Istanbul at 21:00 returniing there at 22:45. it seems to be following the same route as previously originating from Hong via Turkmenistan

Meanwhile the airport looking busy today with EasyJet having 20 departures (a record?) and Ryanair having 28 departures, a sign of things to come. Both TUI and Jet2 seem to have extra flights as the Easter break kicks in.

The MNG B744 TC-MCM showing as back in from Istanbul at 21:00 returniing there at 22:45. it seems to be following the same route as previously originating from Hong via Turkmenistan

TC-MCM is an A330-300. I can't find it showing into BHX on FR24 and if I search by registration, it's currently showing as inbound to IST, then operating IST-BUD-IST. Ian's blog lists TC-MCN (also an A330-300) due at due at 21:00 from IST (first visit), but FR24 is only showing HKG-CRZ-IST.

West Atlantic B737-300 (G-JMCL, NPT203H) is due from Vilnius (VNO) at 14:25. No departure from BHX showing.

TC- MCM is now showing on FR24 and on Ian's blog as arriving at BHX at 21:14 from Istanbul so looks like it's happening but you never quite know with some of these charters.
