Air Transat A330 C-GJDA

This is an ex Emirates plane and might have been a BHX regular in the past. Only delivered to TSC on April 18. Another thing I noticed is that if FR24 is correct, then the A330 flights will have been brought forward a week going by was originally displayed on the seat map website.

Thats good news, the earlier we get the A330 from the A310 the better.

If it/they prove to be popular then I'd imagine that it won't be doing much flying from BHX, other than positioning flights.

 

[Ray Finkle]

I wonder if the Air Tanker A330 will do the MOD flights in between?

 

[JENNYJET]

Air Tanker is the Operating service provider for the RAF fleet and hold a civilian registration on two aircraft that are not under Military control.

The Prime Minister is due to receive at least one Voyager minus any Military enhancements other than necessary for Government or Royal protection.

It is noted that the RAF have benefited from BHX assistance and the Monarch facility is a natural fit as and when Brize Norton is too busy with line maintenance for those military Voyagers.

I read on Air Tanker website that one of the civilian registered machines are to be with TCX but cannot be certain unless one can access MAA and CAA registers and cross link the fleet.

 

[JENNYJET]

Correction, I refer to those Voyager aircraft not under Military orders to be potentially serviced at the BHX Monarch facility.

This is all down to that PFI that the Labour Government dreamt up for our national security.

It is darned complicated and even my training in Law cannot figure out the complexities!!

 

[jfy1999]

Air Transat turned out to be an A310 after all. C-GTSH.
Emirates A380 is A6-EOX, not had the time to see if anything else interesting is due.

 

[JENNYJET]

I wonder if the Air Tanker A330 will do the MOD flights in between?

The Air Tanker website can offer some information not is not Militarily sensitive on how they operate the RAF registered aircraft and those on the Civilian register.

 

[jfy1999]

Iberia Express is A320 EC-LLE in the old scheme which has just landed – first visit?

Also interesting that Monarch have a much bigger A321 on Madrid and the A320 on Lisbon.

 

[nwoody2001]

Well it continues into Winter so hopefully sales have been good.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Lisbon had around 100 or so when I checked last night. That only shows people who have pre-booked seats and those who had already checked in online so the final figure should be known today.
