An Etihad a340-600 is currently at MAN according to Fr24. I've never seen a 600 there. A 300 yes, but never a 600.

 

[User0001]

A340-600 is quite common at MAN now.

Etihad send it in on a fair few flights, and both Lufthansa/Virgin send them in for paint. Theres actually a Lufthansa A340-600 in the paint bay now.

Due Tuesday 19th (tomorrow) is a Tunisair A300-600

TU791 TUN-LHR-MAN arrives MAN 1740
TU792 MAN-TUN departs MAN 1840

Nice to see an A300 that isn't Monarch at MAN.

Obviously too late for anyone to go and see, Illyushin IL-76 RA-76511 arrived at 1505 to pick up an airbus engine from TCX engineering.

Departed later this evening. May be back with another engine but remains to be confirmed. Last time a GTI B747-400F brought the broken engine back.

Brand new A321/WL G-TCDC is arriving at MAN tomorrow from XFW as TCX321P. This will also be the first of the TCX aircraft to feature the full new livery.

It is scheduled to arrive at 1540 and interestingly, this flight appears on the MAN online arrivals screens, to which such flights do not normally appear. D-ABOJ, the only Condor aircraft in the new colours, is also due back into MAN to take part in a photoshoot with G-TCDC.

The first Lufthansa B77F to visit MAN is currently on the deck. It is operated by brand new D-ALFB, only a few weeks old.

 

[User0001]

Another brand new airliner en-route to MAN.

UR-PSJ B737-900 of Ukraine International operating Donesk-Manchester. Will arrive approx. 5:30pm and nightstop.

Also United using the B767-400 on the Newark run tomorrow. Good passenger and cargo loads apparently.

 

[User0001]

Now confirmed that UA80 tomorrow will be B767-400 N78060.

 

[User0001]

B767-400 on the UA81 from EWR again, N77066. I've heard the UA80/81 is now the prime candidate for a B767 during the summer too.

 

[User0001]

The Manchester city owners are in for the football matches today.

A6-DAJ and A6-RJZ both B737 BBJ's are on the deck at the moment. Not often these are seen together at MAN, usually just A6-DAJ appears for the flights.

Manchester had Saudi Cargo visit yesterday with B747-400F TC-AGF arriving at 0830 and was due to depart at 2100 but did not leave until 0530 this morning.

 

[User0001]

Qatar Airways will operate A340-600 A7-AGC on tomorrows flight.

Whilst Qatar have sent an A340-600 to Manchester before (diverts), this will be the first time they have used one on a scheduled flight to MAN.

 

[User0001]

Cathay Pacific will send a B747-400 passenger aircraft through MAN on its way to Kemble.

Reg is not confirmed but will arrive at 1300 on 5th, depart 1050 on the 6th.

The flight will obviously be its last ever before a life as aluminium cans beckons.

RAF Voyager due 5th for MAEL hangar.

Iberia A340-600 due Wednesday afternoon and nightstopping on a football charter.
