BHX Movements and Heads Up

[HPsauce]

The arrival destination / and time has now changed for some reason… it’s now Vienna at 17.27

That was yesterday, and arrived 07.40, so today's is the return visit.
I speculate it's Eurovision related?.

The Air Taxi B738 is due in from Vienna at 16.15E. OY-ASE .

Air Master B738 due in from Cairo 19.52E SU-SAW.

Anyone " in the know" whether the England World Cup squad will be departing from BHX tomorrow as for previous tournaments.
Any knowledge of airline, departure time etc if it is from Birmingham.

I would have thought that they would be flying on a direct flight from LHR

Virgin A350 I heard but don't know what time. That was a few weeks back so things may have since changed.

Ok, thanks. Previously they have departed Birmingham, having moved down from St George's training facility.

Isn't that aircraft a little large for the team?
We are supposed to be in a fuel crisis, I am sure there would have been enough capacity on scheduled services.

You obviously didn't see how many boarded the aircraft. Backroom staff, media reporters, etc.

 

[Seasider]

You are quite right, I didn't see them boarding. If the A350 holds 350 passengers, then there must be a lot of backroom staff and media.

It's a reasonable bet that media filled most of the seats.
