Movements, Logs & Head Up

[TheLocalYokel]

Heads up.

Aegean Airlines flight arriving on Friday at 10:55

First time I think for that airline.

The Aegean Airlines A320 SX-DGN has just passed my house heading east off runway 09.

Neither Planefinder nor FR24 is showing a destination. It's already through 20,000 feet just south of Newbury and still climbing so it looks as though it might be going back to Greece.

Did this flight bring in or take out pax. Or was it a freight flight.

Did this flight bring in or take out pax. Or was it a freight flight.

Passengers I believe. Students going back to Greece and UK citizens coming home.

 

[kraktoa]

It was a Greece repatriation flight. Zero passengers in. Don’t know how many evacuated from UK to Greece

 

[kraktoa]

Embraer 500 due to make approaches and touch and go today. Inbound from Stansted and will return there.

Last night around 2 am saw lights from a aircraft overhead. Checked flightradar. It was some type of mail flight from EMA to EXE. Noticed 3 other mail flights in and out of EMA to Europe. So EMA were quite busy.

 

[Seasider]

EMA ,as far as I know, are only operating freight flights at the moment. They are very busy indeed overnight and quite a few during the day recently.

I looked out of my window half an hour ago to see an easyJet on approach to BRS's runway 27.

FR24 says it was A320 G-UZLJ that was returning after a circuit lasting 20 minutes or so that took it over South Wales as far as Abergavenny before returning over the city of Bristol to the airport.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

About half an hour ago another A400M appeared overhead the vicinity of my house. A check with FR24 showed it having completed a tour of Britain today.

It left Brize Norton around 1040 and then did circuits on its way around at the following airports: Humberside, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Guernsey and Bristol.

It's currently on final approach to Brize Norton, presumably either to land or to do some circuits before landing.

 

[superking]

They had a good ride round a lot of airports today. With most airports in the UK not got any services operateing from them makes the skies very quiet and also do circuits into airports that have a lot of commercial traffic. I think a lot of military traffic has been working into BRS these last few weeks,likewise other airports as well.

 

[kraktoa]

Another Aegean Air flight scheduled this week. Surely there cannot be that many repatriation flights left. The disease is disappearing shortly, numbers are falling.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

I saw two easyJet aircraft overhead my house today that had apparently departed BRS runway 09 - the first was at 1330 and FR24 showed A320 G-EZRT flying from BRS to LGW (we've seen a few of those flights since easyJet stopped commercial flights at BRS).

Around 1640 an A319 flew past and turned left. FR24 showed it as G-EZAK and it did one left-hand circuit before landing back at BRS.

I've noticed some more military traffic doing circuits and approaches in the past week too.

Monday 15 June 2022

BRS departures and arrivals website pages are showing four rotations to/from Walney Island (Barrow) today. This will be for the BAE Systems corporate shuttle operated by Beechcraft King Air B200 aircraft. I've not seen them shown for a while so presumably the service resumes today.

Again I've not seen the Airbus corporate shuttle to Toulouse and Hawarden for many weeks which is operated by Loganair. It's not shown today either.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

A non-movement. With talk that Championship and Premier League sides would be flying to the longer distance away matches during the pandemic, it's perhaps something of a surprise that Bristol City elected to travel in two coaches to their away fixture at Blackburn Rovers this afternoon.

Saturday 27 June 2020

Three commercial return flights today, all Ryanair - Malaga, Alicante and Dublin.

Wednesday 1 July 2020

Ten departures today:

Ryanair: Bologna, Wroclaw, Dublin, Cologne, Alicante
easyJet: Malaga, Belfast Int, Edinburgh, Glasgow
Wizz Air: Katowice

Thursday 2 July 2020

14 departures today:

Ryanair: Arrecife, Venice MP, Dublin, Palma, Girona, Bergamo, Krakow, Malaga, Faro
easyJet: Alicante, Belfast Int, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Glasgow

A random look at the easyJet seat selector suggests that the sun routes and BFS are seeing up to 70-80% occupancy but the EDI and GLA no more than a third occupancy. The flights that I checked on all routes were using the 186-seat A320.

Friday 3 July 2020

15 departures:

Ryanair: Valencia, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Dublin, Knock, Limoges, Rzeszow, Beziers, Alicante
easyJet: Alicante, Belfast Int, Edinburgh, Glasgow

Saturday 4 July 2020

18 departures:

Ryanair: Tenerife South, Budapest, Lanzarote, Palma, Bergerac, Kaunas, Alicante, Faro, Seville, Poznan, Malaga, Gdansk, Warsaw Modlin, Dublin (x 2)
easyJet: Malaga, Faro
KLM Cityhopper: Amsterdam

Ryanair is easily the dominant carrier at the moment. Seat selector shows some high loads on many of the Ryanair routes and on the easyJet sun routes (not in the high 90s% across the board that is the norm for this time of the year, but some into the high 80s% or into the 90s% which suggests that a lot of people are prepared to fly despite the virus, as these sorts of loads are no doubt being seen around the country).

Is this the first day of KLM restarting. I did notice it was a 190 that operated.

I believe so. It's not been shown on 'the boards' previously.
