[David_itl]

Of note from yesterday is the return of Luxair after quite a few years away

 

[Seasider]

I can remember Luxair F27 gracing the apron in the mid sixties - by 'eck, I am getting old!

 

[EGCC_MAN]

Nice to see Luxair back. Since FlyBe failed, they were the obvious replacement on the route - even though covid derailed plans for a while!

It's a shame I can't post a photo to compliment the above post, but I've got a lot of attachments to remove before I can start to post photos etc.

Good to see over 500 in ATM's for the first time for a while I imagine. Misc. helped I suspect by a certain football match yesterday afternoon.

[mullion]

Last 500+ was 18th Feb at 511 which was half term

 

[Land23R]

Last 500+ was 18th Feb at 511 which was half term

Ah, thanks, you're right, but I was thinking specifically of ATMs excluding miscellaneous.

 

[mullion]

It is quite difficult to do that because looking at misc included some airliners as in Eastern and Albas
which maybe a one off charter not the scheduled flights

 

[Land23R]

Perhaps Scottie Dog could clarify what he treats as misc. I assumed it was biz-jets for example, and maybe positional flights and special charters?

A very simple answer to your question. The movements that I show as 'miscellaneous' are those that FR24 show no owner or operator for.

I hope that helps.
