Jesus my lord.I think that is everyday of the week weve had a 747 this week.

What is the frequency for silkway and maersk?

 

[rollo]

Silkway are pretty frequent but there doesn't appear to be a set pattern that I can see so I assume it's a on demand charter of some sort.

Maersk is daily except Fridays I think using a 767 t/f Billund. They also have sent a 77L in addition occasionally.

The 747 from Malta is by Mesk not to be confused with Maersk which my predictve text continually keeps doing Maersk's 767 is in later today as usual as well

Our other 747 operator National were last in on Sunday from Dubai-DWC to Hahn but they have become less frequent lately.

I meant we’ve had a silkway 747 in more or less everyday and a 767 in every day from billund .

Using info from FR24, the Silkway flights begin from Hong Kong, and occasionally other Chinese cities. They land at their base, Baku, and cargo is transferred as required, mostly to BHX, and occasionally Stansted. I suspect they are mainly carrying ' cheap ' Chinese fashion items from the likes of Temu etc.

I seems to be a very frequent but ad hoc service. Great for BHX though.

Silkway B744F due in 11.33E from Baku 4K-BCI.

In addition to the above Silkway 744F the movementsblog shows a Silkway 77L due in at 18:30 out two hrs later t/f Baku.

I think this has happened before and would mean it's on the ground with the Maersk 767 keeping the ground crews busy.

Yes, i noticed the National on Ian's blog last night. I'm not able to keep up so well currently, as undergoing daily hospital treatment.
The number of 747's in recent times has certainly made up for the lack of them at BHX in years gone by!.
Long may it continue!.
