Bristol: Airport Movements, Logs & Head Up

[TheLocalYokel]

You were right, user001. :s_thumbsup

The Chambery flight is a Germania and is the regular Sunday CMF ski flight. BRS Mayfly has it shown twice; inbound at 1245 as GMI and inbound at 1445 as STU (and outbound at 1545 as STU).

The BBC Ceefax shows it today as two flights :nea: both arriving at 1445, one as ST and the other as STU.

The Bristol Airport website arrivals page today shows it as ST (the IATA designator) arriving at 1445.

Mayfly is well-named.

So it seems the only additional CMF fight today is the BA CityFlyer that departed at 0850 but whether it's rugby-related or an additional sky flight is not known.

I see an A319 arrived this morning 22nd april. It landed about 10.40 local time. flt no crv 1. reg no was g noah,and it was operated by acropolis aviation. any body know where it came from and what was it doing in brs. sur a different tail to the orange tails as this was an all greyish colour all over.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

Don't know what that was. Doesn't appear to feature on Mayfly.

acropolis aviation

Done a little research regards acropolis aviation. They are based in farnborough, they have 1 A319cj aircraft,They do executive charter work.
If you put acropolis aviation into ask jeeves you come up with a large page about what they do and where.

Many thanks big g. From skiing to snorkelling, or perhaps tobogganing to a bit of cricket. He'll be able to use his own jet soon unless a small party went over to the Caribbean this time.

Looking at next week's Mayfly I note an Air Mediterranee A 321 is due in from Valladolid on Tuesday 6 May at 1235 and out again and back to VLL fifty minutes later.

Incidentally, I note that the Freebird A 320 that was discussed in this thread back in January has operated every Tuesday since then from/to Antalya double dropping at Glasgow. I can't remember regular Turkey charter flights operating through the winter from BRS in the past.

I don't know the reason for the flight but, as you point out, the aircraft turned out to be an Iberia A 321, not an Air Mediterranee A 321 as indicated in Mayfly last week.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

A reliable poster on BRS matters has confirmed on that other forum (Dried Plum) that the flight was for Spanish students.

Valladolid

Further to the recent posts re the Iberia A 321 from/to Valladolid on Tuesday 6 May, the aircraft (or one like it) returned to BRS from Valladolid on Tuesday 20 May and then went back there. I don't know if it was carrying more passengers for Spain.

However, next week's Mayfly shows another Iberia A 321 flight from and to Valladolid on Tuesday 3 June.

I notice that the iberia is due in again from vll, at 11 50 today. as other postings confirmed as a a321.The reg no is ec jli
on another note i see t/cook has a 757 due in at 13 20 doing the pmi rotation. they must still have probs with pilots for the a321.after all the past probs it looks like its sorted out,and stays that way.

I hope so. My wife had provisionally booked a week in the Canaries with Thomas Cook for later this year but she's now concerned having seen the negative publicity in the local press and local telly in the past couple of days. Another carrier will be getting the booking instead if she has her way.

We're going on a Thomson holiday shortly and have had all manner of niggles with the booking, as we did with our last Thomson holiday, hence the idea of trying Thomas Cook.

I suspect that easyJet might finish up with our Canaries booking.

Well the lcc airlines have had a lot of negitive things said about them in the past, but if you look at the whole picture of the lcc airlines, they sure are doing something right, hence the good load factors not only from brs, dut also from other airports as well.

The Red Arrows and a B17 bomber were at Bristol airport yesterday on way to the WSM airshow. Some photos on the photo thread for Bristol, not very good mind.

 

[superking]

red arrows show at weston was good. a full programe which made up for last year. sunday is the sally b b17 flying fortress and the raf tucano whih issponsored by brs airport, so a good day spotting sunday. i did see the vulcan saturday and what a master peice of a plane.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

I flew in from Geneva yesterday afternoon with easyJet and saw the Red Arrows aircraft parked on the southern apron.

A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to see them landing from the old control tower (I was in the old control tower not the Red Arrows although a landing from there would have been spectacular).

 

[superking]

glad you sorted the tower bit out. hope you had a good break.

Excellent break thank you with super weather.

I managed a previous visit to the old control tower around 1975 when it was still a relatively new control tower, but that's another story.

Incidentally when we left BRS on Saturday 14 June I noticed an aircraft parked bearing a logo along the lines of Sun to Ski or Ski to Sun or similar - I think a Boeing 737 but it was only a partial and quick look. I believe it may have been operating the TUI Verona flight normally flown by a Mistral Air Boeing 737 but this one was not in the usual Mistral livery. I only had a fleeting glimpse as we taxied out but wondered which airline it was.

I had no opportunity to note any country registration mark.

Hi,

I think I've answered your question by posting a photo log from a couple weekends ago, in the photo thread for BRS.

Operating the Mistral Air flight from Verona was the Go2Sky 737-400 OM-GTA.
