And just on its way to rwy 33 for its departure to N’Djamena again. Same aircraft from Liege again. Could it be dropping off cargo as Silkway does from Baku. If it was empty and departs empty why come here at all first. Nice to see though !

And the next Wedgetail conversion following in quick succession tomorrow around 07:30. BOE152 N626DS from BGR. Last weekends arrival is now inside, with what I assume is WT001 sitting outside for some days now. Reported elsewhere that delivery should be this month, but not necessarily...

As well as the comments in the Qatar thread there is also the impact of the jet fuel price which has increased over 100% since last month. Most airlines will have ‘hedged’ their fuel contracts going forward and will be protected for now, but if they remain elevated which they very well may do...

FR24 seem to be reporting the next Wedgetail conversion is due around 07:00 tomorrow. BOE151 N471DS from BGR. These type of movements tend to be cancelled, so it’s wait and see I guess. Apologies, should have gone under STS of course.

Chad. CC2612 TF-AMM arrived 10 min ago. QR33 A7-BCE just South-East of Rhodes due around 20:10.

Looks to be still on the ground in Hamilton, due out approx 09:10 local. W83078 C-FCCJ. DUE BHX somewhat after 19:00 tonight.

HB-AZK EMB195 diverting in from LCY due fog. Others gone to SEN, NWI and SOU. Fog seems to be affecting BZZ too ? G- VYGM arrived from ASI Ascension Island.

TF-AKE B744 due in later this afternoon from Liege as ABD4561. Credit FR24.

Not forgetting BFS, BHD.

I think EMA’s runway is maintenance closed on Wednesdays between 10:00 - 18:00 until 11 Feb.

Post 619 ?

Any further news ?

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...

Pass through the airport most Fridays around 2pm and haven’t yet seen a meaningful queue upstairs or down on that day, busy yes, but moving (can’t speak for mornings). Ironically, the queue for the air-rail link is sometimes bigger now they have slowed the cars down. If you’re only going...

Not sure if it was flagged, but for record purposes Air Atlanta B744 TF-AMU as been and gone. In at 05:51 out at 12:30. Liege (CC4175) to Ouagadougou (CC4176) Burkina Faso. I had to look that up.
