Birmingham: (BHX) - Expected Movements & Heads Up

[Ray Finkle]

Yeah there may be the opportunity of some overtime at MAEL :smile:

Are they both parked up on the 80's stands? I might pop down later.

 

[CL44]

They were both there when I left work at five o clock.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Thanks for that.

If I can get up in time I might pop down in the morning. I imagine it will be the first time BHX has had three AA aircraft in at the same time?

Tomorrow's flight will apparently use N175AN which I believe is still in old colours so an excellent opportunity for comparison shots, depending on where the two tech planes are parked.

Tonights Easyjet from Belfast is being operated by A320 G-EZOP rather than the usual A319.

 

[Brum X]

Thanks for that.

And with United, Four American aircraft in at the same time. :crazy:

I missed that, I believe it's fitted with Sharklets. Is it its first visit and could someone put it in my roundup?

 

[juliet-fox-9]

I can now confirm that that was its first visit. Yesterday's roundup missed the following:
G-EZOP U2197/198 Belfast International-First Visit
OY-RUE DX255/6 Hannover-DX950 to Bournemouth
PH-MJP DNM643F from Rotterdam-n/s

 

[Ray Finkle]

I'll add those to the round up.

 

[Ray Finkle]

I popped up to the car park mid morning and only the AA 763 was there. Apparently it's due to depart sometime this afternoon.

Enter Air 738 SP-ENZ is on approach from EFL.

There are expected to be several flights to Tunisia in order to bring back British tourists so maybe Birmingham will see some of those. Jet2 are already doing flights from LBA.

This is such a shame for Tunisia, just watching on bbcnews 24, all those glorious white sandy beeches, the blue sea and the blue skies, all deserted of holiday makers and heading for NBE airport. 😢 😢 😢

This kinda thing thing makes me wanna cry.

I hope that b-stard who did this, burns in hell.

 

[Jon Dempsey]

I hope that b-stard who did this, burns in hell.

Well said!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Yup, totally agree.

There will be alot of Tunisian families whose livelihood will depend on tourism. Sadly it's a situation where nobody seems to win :s_sad

The American 763 departed back to JFK this afternoon.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Tonights Aegean is A320(SL) SX-DGY which was delivered on 16th June. It's a first visit.

 

[juliet-fox-9]

My five hundredth post!
Does SL mean Sharklets? If so, would that be the first Aegean Sharklet-equipped plane to visit BHX?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Yeah SL means Sharklets. I don't know if it's the first Aegean with Sharklets though.

My five hundredth post!

:hatsoff:

I drove along the A45 just after 09:30 and saw what I though to be the tail of an Adria A319 lining up. Has one been in today?

Yes S5-AAX was in this morning 😆

 

[juliet-fox-9]

It arrived from LJU to operate a charter to Granada. Also PH-DCI operated both Eastern flights today.
