Why wont you ?

Why wont you ?

I think he's refering to BA's computer problems which is causing delays today. Though i don't know if it would effect Cityflyer.

Thanks mate, I was just about to put the TV on and see what dreadful thing has happened now.

For the rest of Saturday now. How awful

Well let's hope that by the end of the day the BHX departures board shows no BA cancellations! So far so good as BA7025 for Florence departed at 1939. Hoping the other three flights leave without any problems.

Palma Delayed until 23.45.

Ibiza and Malaga On Time.

Cityflyer runs off a different system so they should have been ok. Any delays would be due to other issues.

Not sure if you were all aware,but all 4 flights were delayed last night.
The Florence if I recall only had a short delay,but the other 3 were delayed until after midnight.
Palma and Ibiza did get out by half twelve but the problem was the Malaga flight.
It was on final call and boarded by 1am but for some reason did not get away. The aircraft was still on stand 45 I think,at 6am.
During the course of the night it became clear that part of problem was the handling agent Swissport.It turns out they only had a skeleton staff on duty on one of the busiest nights of the season so far.I am told that it took roughly one and half hours just to unload the aircraft after it had arrived. Bearing in mind many flights can be in and out in that time,that is not a good advert for either Swissport or BHX.
I am not sure if the aircraft then developed a technical fault,but as I say it was still there at 6.
The terminal duty managers staff were kept busy last night and I have a feeling we have not heard the last of this incident.

According to FR24
STA ATA ATD
Palma 2215 2350 0057
Ibiza 2135 0022 0122
Malaga 2220 0037 0246
I am not aware of any reason to doubt these times so if your flights are arriving in the early hours 3 or 4 hours late
you cannot complain about ground handling delays.(especially at the moment if you are BA) These turnarounds look pretty good. Infact if these times are correct the airport and ground handling company deserve
praise.

 

[Brummiegem]

58terminus,I am going by what I was told by a reliable source who was involved with the incident.Also by the fact there was a BA tailed ERJ on the gate of the main terminal(gate 45 I think)at 5am.
I have no reason to doubt any of what I was told to be untrue,but if it is then I apologise.
However I heard a number of calls were made overnight to Swissport staff to report to the Terminal duty managers staff.
That doesn't happen for no reason.

All four routes are now bookable for 2018, they return on 19th May.

A brief look suggests that the timings are similar to this year, it is very early though so things may well change.

Checking with the BA website booking engine, I can only find flights until 25 May 2018 which includes the BHX outbounds on 19 May but no availability for returns the following Saturday (26 May) as the the booking period ends the day before.

Is there another site that gives the programme for the entire summer?

I think that 25th May is as far as it goes at the moment but BHX and BRS are definitely bookable from the 19th.

You usually can only book scheduled flights 11 months in advance.
