Birmingham: (BHX) - Movements and Heads Up

[Kevin Farnell]

A few months ago when it arrived at BHX from Doha, I was waiting for a train at Bham Int and happened to be sitting near the crew who were on their way to New St. From the conversation it would appear that one might live in the midlands. With good rail links to BHX it may be that the aircraft is ‘based’ here between flights for ease of access. Perhaps it has some arrangement ? Might be wrong of course.

I had been wondering whether it was BHX based.

Most airlines have a requirement for crew to be at airport within a certain time scale as when they are on standby

I believe Chelsea are to play Aston Villa in Abu Dhabi on December 11th in a friendly match. Wonder when and how they will travel ?

They travel out early December to a training camp in Dubai, and stay about 12 days. Abu Dhabi is not too far to travel for the Chelsea friendly. Quite likely booked on Emirates.

G-KJAS is taxing out to do a bit of training, as Swan 001T.

Encouraging news perhaps. Although it would need to be kept airworthy after a long period static since it got AOC license.

Yes, you are correct. In fact it did one right hand circuit, landing back after approx. 15 minutes or so, and returned to stand. On reflection more maintenance than training.

Corenden have a departure to Tirana ( Albania) at 07.45E tomorrow. B738 equipment. Possibly a deportation flight?.

Air Algerie 7T-VJJ arrived earlier and is due to depart shortly. We also have an interesting registration due in - Eclipse 500 2-DAVE is scheduled to arrive from GCI at 1200.

Yesterdays delayed Amritsar flight is now due around 3:15 this afternoon so there should be two Air India 787s on the ground together this evening assuming the Delhi flight arrives on time.

A few dummy bookings on the THY website show the normal seasonal upgrades. Haven’t checked all dates but the morning flight on Thursday 15th shows as an A333. Interestingly the economy shows as full with just 4 seats left in Business as at this morning. Thanks to ‘Turboprop’ also on the BHX spotters forum with further dates.

Also on the 21st December.....as I'm on it and showing as an A333 on the seat map
