BHX Movements and Heads Up

[HPsauce]

Just noticed that FR24 shows BHX had a FedEx flight (B737-800, OE-IWD, 3V4006) arrive from Paris (CDG), yesterday at 19:58 and depart to Gdansk (GDK) at 21:15.

This appears to be a regular Sunday evening flight now, but usually an ASL Cargo B734 aircraft.

Yes, I'd noticed the ASL B737's recently. Nice to see an An-12 though. I guess it depends what's available at the time. The An-12 is currently on it's way to Stavanger (SVG).

[EDIT] - just hearing it over my house now!

FR24 is showing a Pilatus PC24 departing BHX at 13:45 and arriving back at 14:45. No registration is given, but the operator is Pilatus Flugzeugwerke (i.e. the manufacturer. Callsign is PCH262. Could this be a demonstration flight to a prospective customer?

[EDIT] Ian's BHXmovements site is giving the reg as HB-VVI.

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.

Very likely to be an F1-related charter flight, on the 12th there is a race in Azerbaijan.
If the times listed by the CAA are UTC/UK then the departure time from GYD fits for a post-race charter (5pm UK time = 8pm local)
Although it is a little peculiar the outbound charter isn't also from BHX.

Icelandair DHC-8 (TF-FXA, ICE6001) is due from Luqa (MLA) at 03:56. It then departs to Reykjavik at 04:50.

2Excel B737-300 (G-SWRD, BRO287C) is due from Munich (MUC) tomorrow at 13:59. Is this returning the England football team?

Kevin

Yes Kevin. They flew out on 2Excel from BHX last week.

 

[rollo]

England must be doing things on the cheap.

The aircraft G-SWRD Is a 737 -300 over 27 years old and previously owned by Maersk, GB Airways, British Airways, bmibaby, Jet Time, TAG Aviation and now 2Excel,

The old girl has been around a bit but presumably well looked after.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

I'd rather fly on a well maintained old aircraft, than a poorly maintained new aircraft.

The England squad tend to use either Titan or 2Excel in recent years. Titan are probably fully occupied covering for TUI flights.

FR24 is showing World2fly A350-900 (EC-NTB, TOM746P) due from Madrid (MAD) at 07:41. Due out to Gran Canaria (LPA) at 10:15 as TOM426. Anither Tui sub (but, quite a nice one).

FR24 is also showing ITA airwyays A319 (Alitalia's replacement, EI-IMI , ITY9923) departing for Rome (FCO) at 13:15. I can't however find an inbound flight for this aircraft.

Kevin

 

[HPsauce]

The ITA Airways A319 would have brought the Italian football team possibly. Playing England at Molyneux on Saturday.
We have an A359 due in 07.40 World2fly EC-NTB TOM746P Covering for TUI.
Meridian A-12 due in from Algiers at 07.15.

 

[Karl C]

It will be the World2Fly A359's first revenue flight. Was delivered to Madrid last week from Toulouse!

 

[HPsauce]

Sadly a few easyJet cancellations this morning involving EDI, GLA, and AGP.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

The ITA Airways A319 would have brought the Italian football team possibly. Playing England at Molyneux on Saturday.

Does 'would have' imply that it's no longer happening? The game is still showing for Saturday.

We have an A359 due in 07.40 World2fly EC-NTB TOM746P Covering for TUI.

As I mentioned above.

Meridian A-12 due in from Algiers at 07.15.

UR-CIC, MEM3016. FR24 has an STA of 09:09, but an ETA of 07:29. The Flight Engineer must be shovelling coal at a furious rate.

FR24 is now showing A319, EI-IMI to have an ETA of 12:06 today as AZ9000. With it departing back to FCO at 13:15, I assume there will be another flight to return the Italy team (possibly Sunday?).

The bhxmovementsblog also shows Lufthansa A320 (LH9950) arriving later from Bilbao and night stopping making three Lufthansa night stoppers alongside the usual Frankfurt and Munich overnighters.

Also noted Jet2 seem to be jiggling around their 737s lately yesterday their was three positioning flights and today two in from Edinburgh and East Mids and one out to Leeds.
