FR24 is now saying that EK38 will depart BHX at 23:50, which implies that the aircraft will position back (usual EK policy). I really hope that the EK37 pax have remained on board. It will be a far more pleasant experience to sit on the aircraft for a couple of hours and then fly back to BHX, than a 3 hour road journey on the M11, the dreadful A14 and then the M6 and M42.

Landed back at BHX 22:51, I presume passengers were still aboard.
 
TUI not having a very good Saturday!

G-TUIN The new B789 appears to have gone tech and the Bridgetown flight has been delayed 22 hours until Sunday morning

G-TAWD operating the Chambery diverted to Lyon due weather, hence the Chambery was delayed over 6 hours and the Las Palmas flight just over 4 hours late.

AlbaStar B738 EC-NGC has also postioned in, to operate for TUI on sunday.

and this is low season winter, imagine the problems they will have next summer with a mass shortage of aircraft, due to the Max issues?
 
Cheers, shame it went to LGW but good to know BHX was in the mix and plans were in place to handle two 388's at the same time
They planned 2 but handling 2 at once would have been a different matter, it would have sat on 85C untouched (except maybe some steps to ML2) until the late EK37/38 departed then you would have had reduced staff due to the time as lots of staff stayed over for the 37 and would have gone home leaving the nightshift staff. I am told that after 2am they could not do a pushback anyway on either 380.

Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?
