Thats a lot of TEMU stuff arriving...

As we don’t see the -800 series 747s at BHX what is the restriction. The wingspan is approx 4m greater. Taxiway L was/is I believe unavailable to the B747 (regardless of the present works) and the turn around the top of taxiway G always needs a ‘follow me’ due it’s turning circle/radius. It always seems rather ‘tight’ on the Elmdon side with the old tower and hangar still there when widebodies are concerned.

I think the 747-8 could operate from the passenger terminal without a problem but never has, however the Elmdon side maybe more than a bit tight after all it was originally built to cater for the DH84 Dragon Rapide etc 😃.

Can't see it being that to any significant effect the 777L has been operating on random days since at least March sometimes coinciding with a a 747 on the same day. All these Silkway flights seem pretty random and just subject to demand for Chinese stuff of questionable and ethical quality you might say.

Believe the reason for no 747-8s is the same reason for no A346 - because of their length and the position of the wheels they can’t negotiate some of the taxiways.

I recently saw a news article about the deliveries from the likes of Temu… they are very popular because of a lack of import taxes for small items, but the government’s looking into changing this as British businesses feel that they are being undercut. Time will tell whether this has an effect on our cargo flights.

I am led to believe that this is only the 3rd flight by this frame since entering service so yes I think this is the first visit to BHX.

I understand we may see a new airline with A330's looking to serve BHX a few times pw
