Indeed very busy today on the freight side a B767,A333 and two B744 according to Ians blog.
Adding to the post by HPsauce are a MNG A333 plus a National 744.

There was a time not that long ago when I wondered if we would ever see a 747 again now we can't keep them away.

Air Tanker/Jet2 A332 G-VYGL due in 04.56E from MAN.

The Jet2 A332 is for STS.

3 x Champions League flights into BHX Saturday so far

Any chance of clue as to the airlines operating.

Surely the UCL Flights should be using LHR unless one or both of the teams is using St George's Park. And Jude Bellingham must have flew separately to visit his family. I don't think he will fly back to Spain as England then play on the Monday after the Final

Isn't this the situation with UK airport capacity now though. There probably isn't much scope for charter flights into LHR, even though it's best located for Wembley.

I imagine these flights are spread out across a number of London airports but BHX, being 2 - 3 hrs from Wembley by coach is clearly not a bad option if you are tour operator and you can organise the coaches etc.

Likewise these passengers don't necessarily always stop overnight in London. If you've got a coach you can afford to shop arround for bulk hotel rooms rather than the people who organise it themselves and pick hotels that are convenient for Wembley or the transport links.

B747-400 Silkway due in from Baku at 2.27pm as 4K-SW888

 

[rollo]

The Silkway 744 and Maersk 767 are in again today on their runs t/f Baku and Billund respectively are these permanent or just temporary operations?

I've noted elsewhere on the forum that Emirates start twice weekly 777F flights to MAN next week so I'd guess that's the end for us of those flights. I think we only had one flight last week instead of the usual two.

I cant answer about Silkway and Maersk but can confirm that the EK freighters are moving to MAN from 1st June. They may be moving to STN later on in the Year (but no timetable confirmed as yet). Ah well, it was nice while it lasted!

Ethiopian A359 coming in this afternoon, anyone know why?

From Madrid, so assuming Champions League related (final tomorrow at Wembley)

Ethiopian aircraft often have a whole day's layover in Europe on some routes, so they have been known to pick up charter flights that they can fit in around the schedule.

The aircraft operated Addis Ababa - Paris last night and is planned back out to CDG from BHX this afternoon, presumably to pick up tonight's CDG-ADD.
