Birmingham Airport Cargo Operations

[IanFarquharson]

Looks like the Titan A330 cargo flights will carry on at BHX for a while, they have been very impressed with Blue City handling.

Excellent news hope more follow. Was nice to see the Uzbek, and National 3rd flight this week tonight, plus the 763 is back later according to FR24 ?

 

[IanFarquharson]

Freight is booming at BHX which is great to see, just need the Air China now ?

 

[Paulsstrange]

Thought Air China was off the table and to Stansted ?

Anything in particular driving the recent increase in freight?

 

[Paulsstrange]

Blue City the agent I guess

Not all ,the Uzbek 767F was handled by Swissport with a new main deck loader.

It's pretty impressive that BHX now has 4 main deck loaders that can be used on widebodied freighters between Blue City and Swissport.

When only a few years ago we had none.Probably the main reason we didn't see 747Fs for 20 yrs .

Long may this uptick in big freighters continue.

In the absence of the unique movements the STS hangar had been providing its brilliant to see such a sudden increase in freight movements, that Uzbek 767 was a particular highlight for me personally. Fingers crossed it continues

It's a real boon to see these recent cargo movements. So good for BHX.
It is often easily overlooked how important this is to BHX, and the jobs that are ensured and perhaps created.
Long may it continue. Well done Blue City and Swissport.

If they've invested in a new main deck loader, they must be confident in future work.

I think I have heard of it !!!
But you cannot always rely on FR24
But it is now on BHX screen as 0605-0730 f/t Tashkent
And showing for Sunday HY3173 at 1710-1910 UZB3173/4

 

[Nethercote2019]

Great to see this many wide body freighters -it must be a bit crowded at Elmdon - well done to all for handling these… is it a record amount ? I can’t remember this many before
Has anyone got pics please post them
