Thomas Cook A332 G-OMYT is due at 02:45 as TCX005 positioning in from LGW, I have no idea why?

A local forum is suggesting tomorrows Aegean flight from ATH will be an A321, FR24 is also showing an A321.

Anybody seen the BHAir A330 ????

 

[Ray Finkle]

It didn't arrive in the end, just the usual A320. Their A330 has been flying for Novair and is now being used by Thomas Cook Scandinavia, I guess a steady contract is much more lucrative than subbing for your own aircraft.

Aegean A321 SX-DGQ is en route from ATH.

This mornings Tuifly 738 should be D-ATUI which is in the all yellow scheme, due at 10:25.

What is the Hong Kong jet A330 doing here ??? Is it for MAEL ????


What an interesting aircraft to visit BHX. :good: :good:

 

[Ray Finkle]

I'm still not sure why it was in?

It's been an interesting couple of days, RAF A330 ZZ338 was in yesterday afternoon after operating a training flight, ULS Airlines Cargo A310 TC-LER arrived from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen in the early hours then departed to Abu Dhabi at 19:00 and the Hong Kong Jet A330 arrived at 07:40 then departed to Dusseldorf around 15:00. AN12 UR-CGW has also been in.

Danish Air Transport ATR72 OY-RUG is still operating ex BHX on behalf of Flybe which is a rather colourful livery.

Another A321 on SK2535, OY-KBK should arrive in 20 mins or so. This morning also saw an A321 on AF1064 with F-GTAU making it's first visit.

I remember when we'd see nothing bigger than an MD80 or a Fokker on these routes so good to see the bigger jets filling up.

Sorry for the late report but when I got into work last night(Sunday)there was a NEOS B738 on the deck.Reg I-NEOZ.Howeverv due to circumstances I was unable to find out why it was there.
Any help to find out why it was there would be appreciated. :good:

 

[Ray Finkle]

Hey, it positioned in as HFY001P then operated the HFY271/272 flights so I don't know if the Hi Fly A310 had an issue but it's been parked all week.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Thomson 763 G-OBYF has been operating some short haul flights for the last couple of days due to lack of aircraft I believe, it's just about to land from DLM.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Monarch 757 G-MONJ should be operating the delayed ZB426 from Las Palmas which was originally due at 01:05, it's now due at 18:12.

Titan 733 G-ZAPZ operated ZB5484/5 Venice flight this morning.
