Lauda Europe A320 9H-LAJ has just departed for PMI on a Ryanair FR2162. Was this expected?.

 

[CM.]

Yes I believe they base some of the Lauda fleet at PMI. And operate flights for RYR.

Another Alitalia A332 from Bologna showing on the BHX arrivals board today along with a Hi Fly A339 from Islamabad.
Total arrivals is fifty-two with Ryanair accounting for eighteen

Number of bucket and spade flights by TUI (2) Jet2 (5) Ryanair (12) and Eastern (Gibraltar) amounts to twenty or twenty-three if you add in EasyJet and Blue islands to Jersey and Aurigny to Guernsey.

Ryanair also operating to Barcelona, Porto and Madrid so quite a bit of holiday traffic.

Nice to see two heavies follow each other in to BHX this morning. Alitala A332, then Emirates B773. Doesn't happen often in these strange times.

 

[JENNYJET]

Like riding a bike, never forgotten.

 

[Glenn Eldridge]

Any hearing about a Qatar 777 due in this Thursday coming?

 

[BHXisLife]

TUI 787 coming in from Detroit also

 

[rollo]

Around fifty-five departures today including twenty-four bucket and spade trips.

Ryanair (10)+(4) other destinations, Jet2 (9) Tui(4) and Eastern (1)

Also Alitalia A319 from/to Rome and Edelweiss A320 from/to Zurich grand prix traffic?

In addition there were night stoppers from yesterday, an RAF C17 from Tiblisi and a Privilege Style B767 from Kabul.

I wonder what the loads are like on the holiday flights.

All info taken via Ian's excellent site.

Not that I am a fan of the dried fruit forum but the BHX page hasn't been updated for weeks and weeks, any idea's why ?

I know things are a bit quiet but all the other airports are being updated.

Busy time arrivals wise around 10 am with lots of movements and a/c in hold/ flying around local countryside

Apparently we now have two RAF C17s on the ground a second diverted in earlier today.

Apparently, the runway at Brize is being refurbished but the current heatwave has impacted negatively on the surface. Source: Forces News TV.

A third C17 arrived this afternoon and departed to Brize a couple of hours later so for while we had a mini squadron.

Info is on Ian's website.

ZZ177 C17 actually departed around 18.10 direct to Akrotiri , Cyprus. It was over southern Germany an hour later.

Yes sorry got it bum about face it was from Brize to Akritori maybe with three C17s on the ground BHX could nave named the airport RAF Elmdon for the day.

 

[JENNYJET]

I like the sound of that! But it is satisfying that they choose BHX instead of Fairford as the alternate airfield.

 

[HPsauce]

I think our Customs facilities would be essential for the RAF. Very nice to see them though.

Fifty-six departures showing for today.

On the bucket and spade flights twenty-six scheduled so building up. Ryanair (11) Jet2 (10) TUI (3) Eastern (1) and EasyJet (1) new route to Corfu.
Also two flights to Barcelona by Ryanair and Vueling, and BlueIslands to Jersey.

Another C17 due at 0730 from Brize at RAF Elmdon making three on the ground for a couple of hours until one departs at 0930 to Brize.

All info from Ian's BHX blog.

On which not if Ian happens to read this I hope its OK to use and post from your site as I do it fairly regularly with an acknowledgementof the source. Please let me know if its an issue.

RAF Elmdon must have a push back tow bar for C17 with 1 parked nose in on the 80’s stands
