I'm not sure what's going on with FR24, but looking at the FRA departures the are B787-9's going to BER, GDN, (VNO), DUB, BHX, HEL, LUX, and MAN. All with 'NBH' flight numbers.

I think this information is false Kevin. It also shows the same details from Munich, but links to the scheduled Lufthansa flights from Frankfurt and Munich. FR24 do throw up these anomalies occasionally.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Possibly another error, but FR24 is showing a Jetmagic B757 (9H-AVM), currently on the ground at BHX. No other info available.

[EDIT] - according to FR24 it arrived at 22:11 from Iqaluit (YFB) as JMK426. Looks like it's on the STS apron.

An AirX Challenger 850 (9H-BOO - bet that made you jump!, AXY150V) arrived from NCE at 09:15. According to FR24, it's next services are BHX - BLK (Blackpool) and then BLK - VCE. I thought that Blackpool had stopped operations of commercial flights. Does BLK still have customs facilities and is this the reason for the stop at BHX?

Blackpool or Venice decisions, decisions.

Smart Lynx A333 9H-SMD arrived for STS yesterday.

 

[Llandudno]

CAA article 250 permitted show that Azerbaijan Airlines have applied to operate a one off flight to Birmingham with the B787.

Arrives 2310 on 12th June and departs an hour later. Subject to change.

 

[KJAY 786]

I am hoping Azerbaijan Airlines start scheduled flights from Birmingham BHX demand is high will be very busy as well to Pakistan.

 

[Nethercote2019]

I think last time they only managed 1 flight !

I see from FR24 that ETF Airways B737-800 (9A-ABC) arrived from CDG at 18:58 using callsign TOM901P. Obviously a sub for TUI. Does anyone know if this is a short or long term lease?

Ryanair start their service to Bordeux today one of 25 scheduled departures from BHX by them.

EasyJet have 14 and Wizz 4 making a total of 43 departures by low-cost carriers probably some sort of record.

Talking of EasyJet todays flights are ÷
Belfast - 4
Edinburgh - 2
Glasgow - 3
Amsterdam - 2
Geneva - 1
Malaga - 1
Palma - 1

There is the start of a four aircraft base there with early mornings to Amsterdam, Belfast, Edinburgh and Glasgow and given the number unserved or undeserved European routes plus the Canaries -- if only they could be persuaded/encouraged.
