Expected Movements & Heads Up

[Ray Finkle]

Another Norwegian 787 due today, should be swapped for the first one.

The 787 actually arrived today, EI-LNH landed at 14:18 from Gatwick.

LN-LND departed for LGW just after 17:00.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Tomorrows American is showing on FR24 as N174AA which is in the Oneworld Livery.

Still plenty of time for change though.

 

[Ray Finkle]

With the Cheltenham Festival it's all about Dublin this week.

Mon 14th - Ryanair 8 flights, Aer Lingus 6 flights

Tue 15th - Ryanair 10 flights, Aer Lingus 5 flights

Wed 16th - Ryanair 8 flights, Aer Lingus 5 flights

Thur 17th - Ryanair 8 flights, Aer Lingus 6 flights

Fri 18th - Ryanair 10 flights, Aer Lingus 7 flights

Hopefully we'll see one or two Aer Lingus A321's.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Looking good, but still not like the good old days when the Aer Lingus 747 was back and forth all day.

[nwoody2001]

maybe, but I calculate that to equate to over 26,000 seats on the route over just 5 days!!! assuming of course a 180 seat 738/320 type aircraft is used. this could of course be higher with larger aircraft!!!

 

[JENNYJET]

Possibility of B757 or A330 perhaps from Aer Lingus fleet? And what will the Irish stables use to bring over the horses?

 

[Brummiegem]

The extra flights seem to be exclusively A320s with a single ATR72 later this afternoon/evening.
Also they all seem to be coming from Dublin,I seem to remember 1 or 2 from Cork or Shannon.
Maybe they will operate tomorrow.
Ryanair are as expected all B738s.
As for the horses,I think it is rare for them to be brought over specially for Cheltenham.Most are already over here having raced in meetings during the build up to Cheltenham.
Also most will stay over here as the next big meeting will be Aintree,and the Grand National.
I don't remember any flights operating specifically for bringing in horses for this festival.
I am happy to be corrected though

Horses at one time were brought in through Bristol Airport but I don't know if they still are.

BRS also used to have a number of additional Ryanair flights from DUB for the Cheltenham Festival but these now seem to operate exclusively to BHX with BRS seeing no extra flights for the past two or three years.

 

[jfy1999]

Helvetic are using E190 HB-JVN and Air France is A321 F-GTAD. I find it a shame A321s aren't used more often but CDG growth seems to have stalled of late. Fewer passengers flew there in January 2016 than January 2015.

Norwegian swapped 787's again today.

EI-LNH departed this morning looking amazing in the sunshine.

LN-LNE arrived this afternoon.

 

[jfy1999]

Turkmenistan are using EZ-A779 on their flight. Let's hope this is the start of something permanent!

 

[justplanecrazy]

Apparently sometime this month but as it's almost April I personally think it's going to be some time in April but could be and hope to be wrong but it's definitely a when not if situation.

Also there was a cs100 parked over on the elmdon apron today not sure if this was planned or when it had arrived.

 

[User001]

The C-Series was planned as its on a route proving tour of Europe for its ILS certifications. Based in Zurich until end of March.

 

[jfy1999]

The new version of FR24 wasn't showing the registration of one of the Norwegian flights from the Canaries, anyone know which aircraft operated the flight? The other flight was operated by EI-FJC.

 

[Ray Finkle]

EI-FHZ operated the other one which I believe has recently been re-registered from LN-DYM.

 

[Ray Finkle]

AF1564 is being operated by A321 F-GTAE which is in the Sky Team Livery.

 

[Brummiegem]

A different CRJ900 is in use today on the SAS2533. Currently on approach is EC-JTS in full Iberia/Air Nostrum livery.

 

[ronnoc1k8]

We had a 3 class Emirates visit us today (A6-EGL).

 

[Karl C]

Hey all,

There should be another 3 class tomorrow morning. Luckily I'll be on it. Seat map showing 9 seats taken in J class. The A380 back on the 4th April into BHX is already showing 42 seats taken in J class.

Kind regards

Karl
