Expected Movements & Heads Up

[Kevin Farnell]

Im visiting the airport tomorrow and with todays Turkish cancelled, we may see an upgrade tomorrow maybe if the flights operate again ??

A330 would be nice

You 'might' be lucky, but I would imagine that just about all of Turkish Airlines routes have huge backlogs. Where they choose to substitute their very limited reserve of larger aircraft is anyone's guess.

I understand that TA are looking at leasing three of Sri Lanka's 4 A350s which are under final construction. Pity they don't have them presently.

TP9056 is showing as CS-TTA, A319, just about to depart Lisbon.

CityJet SSJ100, EI-FWA is on approach from Paderborn. Have they taken over the MOD flights I wonder?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Aer Lingus A320 EI-DVM, which wears the Retro Livery, is currently over Wales, due in about 20 mins.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Looking out of my front window I have just seen HA-LYT arriving from Budapest. I didn't realise that it wears a pink nose

Here it is seen at LPL

 

[Brum X]

All it needs now is a smiley face and it would look really cool

 

[jfy1999]

Emirates are using another 3-class A380 today (A6-EEN)

United are heavily delayed and both flights are expected at 12:01.

 

[Ray Finkle]

16:38 Lufthansa A321 (MUC) D-AIDC
17:00 Lufthansa A321 (FRA) D-AIRS
17:04 Czech Airlines A319 OK-NEP
17:05 Balkan Airlines A321 LZ-BHK
17:42 Air India 787 VT-ANC
17:51 Air Explore 738 (BCN) OM-GEX

 

[jfy1999]

Czech is actually OK-NEO.

I don't know whether the aircraft BH Air are using reflect demand. The first flight saw the A330 but the A319 has been used for the last few weeks and today's A321 is on its first visit.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Ooops, typo.

The A330 was used to cover for a tech aircraft, it's operated into several UK airports over the last few weeks.

The A321 is likely to be due to demand as the school holidays are now beginning.

 

[JENNYJET]

CityJet SSJ100, EI-FWA is on approach from Paderborn. Have they taken over the MOD flights I wonder?

I believe that the Army are ramping up the withdrawal of personnel to Bulford Camp and need RAF A330 MRTT using the surge fleet that Air Tanker have in reserve for such eventualities.

Depending upon service requirements, either RAF liveried or Air Tanker A330's are deployed albeit both are of the same PFI contract the MOD entered into.

A brief visit to the AIR TANKER website should perhaps enlighten folks further save to say that soldiers with full kit and caboodle need significant space and weight carrying capacity.

I am delighted that these Military Airbus flights overfly my home enroute to Brize Norton

Norwegian 787 LN-LNB is about to depart LGW on it's way to Birmingham.

I was out this evening and saw two planes fly over within minutes of each other. The first was a Titan A320 and the second looked like a TAP Portugal A319.
