Anyone know why a Qatar Executive Gulfstream landed at BRS this evening, or am I hoping for too much.

Back in the early 70s BEA used to do a 03.00 departure (on a Comet) to ATH, again I think to link with ferries

Seems that there will be more 're-purposed' loans to Cardiff airport. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52156482?intlink_from_url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics&link_location=live-reporting-story On another point both BRS, CWL & BOH must be earning marginal income from aircraft...

Worth a read, but nothing startling and it misses a few points...

Just looked again and there is an AC6013 departing for LHR (RFS) at 8.00pm - a quick one only 12 hours.

Found the following on FR24 - AA on LHR to BRS! A bit weird, aircraft type shown as 'RFS', could it be 'road freight (ferry) service' or something like that? Thought BRS didn't 'do' freight! Its showing 3 dates (so not a one off) and a transit time of 18 hours! so can't believe any pax...

Well about 9 months ago my sister couldn't get out of her front door in Broad Street due a car being parked so close to it access was impossible, not for a day but a WEEK. Police, council et al politely declined do anything about it. On return, the driver apologized with words to the effect...

Just watched (on FR24) the BMR 1764 ex Toulouse executing a missed approach almost bang over the top of Wrington, that sort of course is probably the basis of the complaints

Thanks the bit about routing of commercial flights, I'll pass it on - might help

Umm not sure about this & the video on another thread. It appears the airport is pushing the 'South West' and the 'anti s' are mostly local to the area NIMBYs. Possibly this is a bad airport strategy; the locals are, after all, neighbours Living in North Dorset, but with a sister who lives in...

It was the routing that interested me, surprising what flies over, without us being aware!

Know this doesn't totally fit the thread title, but there isn't another thread that would suit it. Looking on Fightradar the SQ 21 EWR to SIN was almost overhead BRS (few miles south) at 37000, 508 knots at about 20.45 on 25th Nov. Maybe its nothing out of the ordinary, but I've never seen it...

In mathematical terms a 7% annual rise (in compound terms) results in a doubling of the original base number in 10 years!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-44810051 According to the BBC - QR received GBP1m to market Wales as a tourist destination ! No wonder BRS lost out, would it be legal for BRS to make such a payment as a private company? even if it had the available funds!

So the total seats for BRS available is up 7.7% The devil is in the detail. The top 5: EZY up 10.2% (to give 53% of total) RYR up 2.33% (20.7%) TUI up 28.4% (9.4%) Thos Cook up 31.1% (6.2%) BMR up 5.8% (3.3%) Which gives almost 93% of the total, the remainder are of limited statistical value...
