Expected Movements & Heads Up

[Ray Finkle]

Great to finally see Prague back on the arrivals with the return of Czech Airlines tomorrow.

FR24 shows OK-NEO is operating it but early days so could change.

 

[jfy1999]

OK-NEO's sister ship OK-NEP wears this stunning "Visit Prague" livery. I'd love to see that visit soon

Today's Pakistan is AP-BMG which is in the Retro Livery, due around 15:30.

Tomorrow's Czech Airlines is showing as OK-NEM.

I notice Blue Air used a 734 for the first time today (YR-BAQ).

Blue Air showing as a 738

 

[jfy1999]

Blue Air today is a 737-400, YR-BAK, on its first visit but delayed until 1820.

Also we had a visit from TCX A330, G-CHTZ which arrived from MAN this morning before positioning out to BFS.

 

[jfy1999]

Titan A320, G-POWM is operating the Norwegian flight from Barcelona.

 

[Brummiegem]

A visitor for today is S5-AAG CRJ200 of Adria Airways.
G-LSAN B757 Jet2 is currently circuit training as I write this post.
Interesting as the Thomas Cook A330 was also training yesterday and the reason for it's visit.
Circuit training seems to be on the way up again at BHX,particularly with airliner traffic.

 

[Ray Finkle]

I've been watching G-LSAN, it's just made a sharp left turn flying over my back garden.

Looks as if it's heading back up to Leeds now.

I noticed a couple of approaches from a C17 earlier, must have been some time between 11:00 and 12:00.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Czech Airlines tomorrow will be operated by Smartwings 737-700 OK-SWT, due at 19:20.

Subject to change.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

G-LSAN B757 Jet2 is currently circuit training as I write this post.
Circuit training seems to be on the way up again at BHX,particularly with airliner traffic.

There are some very interesting posts, on another forum regarding this.
I believed, that a ban had been placed on large aircraft undertaking training flights at BHX, and this was also quoted at the other forum.

A reply stated that 'the ban could possibly be lifted if the airline was planning to operate or base aircraft at BHX'.

With regard to this, was 'Jet2 training now!, enough said!'

I'm aware that the quotes are from a member that posts here, and as a scientist it would be usual for me to quote references. However, I can see that the info could be sensitive and so have chosen to keep the identity of the poster confidential.

I would hope that the person I have quoted would confirm the above. I sincerely hope that I've caused no offence and if I've overstepped the line, please delete this post.

Kevin

 

[jfy1999]

What I find interesting about this potential base is that Jet2 are using 757's for the circuit training. You'd expect them to do training with the same type of aircraft they intended to use for a future base?

It would be very nice to see more 757's at BHX

 

[Brummiegem]

Unfortunately I know nothing of Jet2's ambitions,I just reported what I saw.
Regarding training flights,I to was under the impression that they were banned at BHX,unless for specific purposes.
However as there was also a TCX training sortie the previous day as well as a few earlier in the year,then maybe this policy has changed.I also would like this to be confirmed.
Changing tack,does anyone know the identity of the A320 that suddenly appeared yesterday in an all over white scheme,with a sunny heart on the tail and Thomas Cook titles.Obviously we know who it will be working for,but it was parked too far away to get it's reg so I don't know who it belongs to.I assume it is going to be BHX based for the summer.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Jet2 have been rumoured for a while, the advert for an unnamed airline advertising for a new Birmingham base seemed to fit the bill.

It's not the first time that they've been rumoured though and I believe that talks with BHX have been held in the past and led to nothing. We shall see.

I believe that the A320 is YL-LCL of Smart Lynx, which will be based for the summer.

 

[justplanecrazy]

Yes Ray you are right it is Smart Lynx YL-LCL it was towed over from the monarch hangar yesterday morning.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Subject to change but OK-NEP (City of Magic Livery) is on today's Czech Airlines flight.

EK39/40 is A6-EOY which I think is a first visit.

 

[ronnoc1k8]

EK41/42 had been operated by a 3 class yesterday and today.
