Birmingham Airport Cargo Operations

The Icelandair767from Reykjavik flight originates from Chicago so I expect its bringing the same freight as the recent Silkway flights from the USA.

Mesk Air is due from Ostend 09.54E 9H-MSK B744F.
On a separate note, Silkway seem to be a bit quieter in recent days. They have been using Stansted though in recent days. Are we in danger of losing this service?.

A Silkway B744F is due in 05.17E from Houston, Texts, Friday morning.
It's actually scheduled for a 06.15 arrival. 4K-SW008.
I thought we were closed overnight until 06.00 for runway maintenance ?.
Hope it gets in!!.

The Silkway 744 is showing as STA 06:21 current ETA is 05:52 so no problem really just a short hold probably.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Currently above Stoke so shouldn't be a problem

Silkway B744F due in from Baku 17.21E 4K- BCH.
We had another National B744F yesterday, which departed 23.16 to Dubai i believe. No info on FR24 as usual.

Also due in this afternoon is a Maersk 77L and a 76V both t/f Billund so the cargo side of things a bit busy this Sunday afternoon with both scheduled to be on the ground along with the Silkway 744.

National B744F departed 10.38 30th Anniversary livery. Not sure of the destination.

National B744F departed 11.22 to Hong Kong N663CA after night stopping.

 

[HPsauce]

National B744F landing shortly 18.25 N537CA.
That makes two today.

The National was from Hong Kong via Dubai DWC.
At one point it looked like it would follow the Emirates B77W in, but due to a high handover from London Radar, it had to do a circuit to lose the height and a Jet2 A321N sneaked in.
Almost two in from Dubai together. Doesn't happen very often!.

 

[HPsauce]

A Silkway B744F is due in from Baku 15.57E 4K-SW888.

A question for anyone with knowledge on BHX cargo ops.
Having kept an eye on Silkway operations, they appear to transfer cargo at Baku destined for the UK to 4K registered B744F.
We never see their VP and VQ registered B744F.
Anyone know why?.

Here's two things you don't get to say often.

One of yesterday's TWO National 744s departed from BHX direct to Okinawa a Japanese Island plonked in the Pacific Ocean.
