Birmingham Airport Cargo Operations

[CL44]

I’ve noticed the flights coming from USA previously are these now also bringing in freight ?

Short answer: Yes. What and who for I do not know but there was certainly cargo coming out of the flight last week and I anticipate the same for todays flight from ORD.

We also had a Silkway B744F from Chicago early this morning ( out to Baku). I think that's 3 in recent days.
They are certainly getting very regular.

Another National showing for Monday at 1025 from CVG

Then one on Tuesday at 0620 from HHN

Yes that's right missed that one (too many to count).
Checking back according to FR24 the Chicago flights seem to originate from Los Angeles so maybe whatever they are bringing in originates from there.

BHX has had quite a few 747s operating over the years but never such a sustained run as we are getting currently particularly from National and Silkway.

Great to see these 747 flights continue and we now seem have flights from east and west, its been a long time since we had flight from LAX

Both Nationals I mentioned before were cancelled.

Hopefully a new carrier will be at BHX soon as well

The amount of cargo off these 747s and 777s is quite insane but impressive at the same time.
Is this literally all temu and shein not cars?

Flights coming from Baku would normally be Temu & Shein but the flights from the USA are other goods. I will not go into details as that comes under sensitive business dealings. Suffice it to say that I am happy to see these charters coming in on a regular basis and hope that they continue for the foreseeable future.
