Birmingham: (BHX) - Expected Movements & Heads Up

[jfy1999]

This morning's EI262 was operated by EI-DEO which I believe is still in rugby colours.

It's Vueling's turn to provide a bit of variety with Avion Express A320 LY-VEO operating their flight today.

 

[jfy1999]

While we're on the subject of all-white A320s, I've noticed that the movements of YL-LCL are basically the same week-to-week. If you look at my roundups for the last couple of weeks you might see what I mean.

OY-JTY's movements are a lot more interesting. Vueling is our current main provider of first visits though with loads in the past weeks.

No first visit from Hainan though, B-2490 was on their flight again today.

Today's Air Transat is C-GGTS which has been painted in new colours since its last visit. Also G-ZAPX arrived from Stansted and departed a few minutes ago on a charter.

 

[jfy1999]

CS-TRW is back at BHX. This time it arrived from Barcelona using a Vueling call sign.

 

[jfy1999]

Today's Norwegian flight to Madrid was operated by LN-NHA which I believe is the first visit of a Norwegian aircraft that doesn't have a picture on the tail and whose registration isn't LN-DY*.

 

[jfy1999]

Mistral Air B733 EI-ELZ just arrived from FCO as AZA8266, most probably on a student charter.

 

[jfy1999]

Privilege Style B752 EC-HDS positioned in from Madrid earlier and is now operating ZB943 from Mahon. The flight was delayed a long time so probably the planned aircraft went tech. But if not, let's hope it's here to stay!

I saw the Privilege Style 757 take off this morning, I wondered who it was flying for.

Tomorrow mornings Germanwings flight from/to DUS will be operated by an A319, currently D-AKNV is showing but it's subject to change.

Tomorrow mornings Germanwings flight from/to DUS will be operated by an A319, currently D-AKNV is showing but it's subject to change.

Last time we were due for an A319 it turned out to be a false alarm and it was just a CRJ :s_sad

 

[Ray Finkle]

I've had a look on the Germanwings website and it's showing the seat map for an A319.

 

[jfy1999]

It was indeed D-AKNV that operated the flight. :s_thumbsup
EC-HDS is operating for Monarch to Alicante and 9H-OME looks like it's going to land at BHX.

 

[jfy1999]

I can confirm that 9H-OME has landed.
Following it and EC-HDS into BHX is G-FBEH which is diverting in en route from Exeter to Edinburgh.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Another Germanwings A319 is just about to arrive with D-AGWG operating from HAM.

This mornings Hainan was B-2492.

 

[jfy1999]

Tonight's roundup is going to be very interesting. I don't think EC-HDS is still here as FR24 says it arrived at Manchester.
The BHX Movements Blog says CS-TRW is still here but I don't think that's right.

 

[Ray Finkle]

CS-TRW was parked up at the end of the 80's stands this morning. That was about 09:30 though so I don't know if it has since departed.

 

[jfy1999]

The BHX Movements Blog says it was parked all day. Perhaps it's due for the Monarch hangar.

 

[Ray Finkle]

There are quite a few delays at BHX today.

ZB473 from Sharm-El-Sheikh was due at 01:40 but is expected at 16:55.

TCX4047 from Rhodes was due at 03:20 but is now expected at 20:00.

This mornings AA flight to JFK is showing as cancelled on FR24. The JFK website also confirms this.

Turkmenistan have a delay of 4 hrs and 15 mins so it's now due at 20:30. It's good to see the 777 back on the route though with EZ-A779 being used.

Air India have a 3 hr and 45 mins delay and is now due at 21:45.

Oddly enough PIA are the ones running 25 mins early :smile:

 

[jfy1999]

Turkmenistan's delay is now shorter and EZ-A779 is expected at 20:20 now. Anyone know whether CS-TRW is still at large?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Tomorrow mornings AA inbound is also cancelled. It's not great news at all if the loads are so bad that they're already cancelling flights :sad:

CA-TRW departed yesterday tom AMS but I believe it may be back later this evening.
