BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Wrightfly73]

I believe an A320 is scheduled for tomorrows Edelweiss. Also we will be seeing Alitalia a few times during the next 2 weeks with flights to BLQ, FCO and GRO all scheduled.

It will be nice to see some different tails at the airport.

Is this flight a one off? Edelweiss's website doesn't show a bookable service to Birmingham.

 

[Wrightfly73]

Yes I believe it is a one off flight today, I'm not sure of it's reason for operating though.

Alitalia AZ9002 A320 from Bologna on it's way EI-IML due 18.30.

possibly related to this weekends F1 races at Silverstone, could be the Alfa Romeo Racing Team who are based in Switzerland?

Very likely. The flights from Bologna are probably Ferrari and/or AlphaTauri F1 teams who are based nearby.

Todays departures are 48 which I think is the highest yet since the shutdown although some will be going out empty to Spain.

Ryanair have twenty rotations I think sometimes we underestimate there importance to BHX.

Also a few frieght movements.

Off topics bit... but I know times are slow at BHX. But I am on family hols in Italy not far from Milan MXP. Can see them take off and land if that darn mountain was not in the way. For a c 30 mppa airport it is very very slow. Loads of cargo, but Milan is top in Italy for that kinda stuff so expected...lots of FedEx. But passenger wise, very little.

We did watch a Freece Tricolor practice display at a nearby airfield the other day though. Giant Italian flags in the sky! Not as good as the Red Arrows mind you, although the guy who owns the villa felt otherwise....nothing brings out the worst in Anglo Italian relations than a debate about the best aerobatic display team!

 

[CL44]

Does anyone have any ideas why the FX is circling at present? I know we have bad weather in the area (but no thunderstorms in B26 for the last hour) and i know about the fire in Tyseley, but that wasnt affecting operations earlier on.

 

[CL44]

Never mind it has just landed. Was holding for a good half hour with at least 3 circuits.

Yesterday (Sat) and today, FR24 have several arrivals listed under Air India codes. Flights from Inverness. Belfast, Isle of Man and Edinburgh were listed, using DH4 or AT7 equipment. Obviously, non of these operated, but why are they listed? I can't think of a single airline that previously operated these routes, or an airline that had code shares with Air India. Anyone know what this is about?

That'll teach me to go directly from the arrivals page and not double check.
