One spokesperson for PIA during an event for LHR’s resumption of services mentioned Birmingham for 2027. Take it with a grain of salt (or maybe a bit more) as they seem to be getting more aircraft back in service… AP-BGZ was damaged and was brought back quite recently, and still waiting for BMG...

Fair yeah, kerosene is getting quite expensive now that you mention it.

Surprised about SVA being cancelled. They were running normally even while the conflict was going on? I did see EK 777 returning 1st of May… if that’s still going ahead I do not know.

Seems to be rare that we got a 3 classer? When was the last time we did get one? I only remember when LHR’s incident happened, EK sent a 3 (or 4) class 388 here

Hope it doesn't change, we were about to have a grand slam in regards to HZ-ARF visiting every UK airport in the first week of it being brought back into service... shame about weather.

A6-ENY has been painted into the "new" scheme, hope to see it soon when the 777 comes back to Birmingham! I believe 1st of May, according to Emirates' website that we will get the 777 back for the evening. Of course, it would be subject to change.

Hi, I would perceive his post would be in relation with this livestream, with the timestamp being attached. It shows a RYR 737 MAX 8200. In my opinion, it just seems like your regular missed approach, perhaps due to being maybe a bit unstable due to the gusts of Storm Dave but this is nothing...

Unsure if this has been mentioned looking above don’t think it has, A7-BDD due to fly back to Doha as QTR3073 (QR3073) tonight at 2200z, ETD 2215z. Believe this was stuck in Birmingham since stuff started in the Middle East? Edit: Just departed, safe travels Bravo Delta Delta.

I would believe it is due to the pilot strikes going on in Germany?

Gotcha, UK destinations only I would have expected only wides? But that was disproven given we had LGW-NUM ops… in the 320 no less.

Ah, right. I think I understand fully now, my intial thoughts were just that SV was mostly used for pilgrimage traffic. I had such a flawed way of thinking 🤦‍♂️ Thank you and cheers for clearing that up for me. I just thought it was weird of a prospect of downgrading to an XLR when EK uses an...

But Jeddah is the gateway to Makkah and Madinah…? A good amount of travel groups do go now as well on these ‘Umrah Packages’. I’ve not gone with them but them but I do hear they bring a lot of people. Surely a good amount of the Muslim population in Birmingham would go during this time period...

A bit curious, how are load factors doing on the outbounds and inbounds? Given that well, that it is Ramadan, loads must have gone up yes?

In regards to earlier posts, A7-BEW (A 2018 built 77W) for tomorrow’s QR35 service, STC.

Yet again, Alpha Romeo Bravo back in on Tuesday, STC. At least we’re getting it a bit more frequently now! What we really need is ARF at BHX. Been a while since that has visited us even in the old scheme.

HZ-ARB (94th National Day) livery scheduled for this Thursday. Subject to change.

Nice stuff. Always nice seeing Saudia expand at BHX.

A year earlier (19/12/2023)

Hope I don’t fly on it again when I go Saudi in December 🤣 The state of it when I flew on it was not very pleasant…

Booked last Saturday, £3600 for 6 pax. A steal I would say 👌
