I'm assuming that you are referring to the Azerbaijan Airlines flights. If so, nbdm says it is likely to be Formula 1 related-What are they? Training flights or something?
If however you are referring to the ITA Airways flights, these are to do with England playing Italy at Molineux (last Sat). Italy's next game (Tue) is away to Germany, hence the ITA Airways from BHX - DUS.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.
Azerbaijan. Thank you.
Has BHX got contracts with various sporting bodies? There have been a number of charters over the last few years re football and F1 .I'm assuming that you are referring to the Azerbaijan Airlines flights. If so, nbdm says it is likely to be Formula 1 related-

Certainly the England football team use BHX now. Probably because they now train at St George's Park near Burton on Trent. Not so sure about the F1, but centrally placed for fans flying out to watch the race.Has BHX got contracts with various sporting bodies?

The Hungarian football team flew in today on Smarwings 738 OK-TVS from Budapest to play England tomorrow at Molenuex. The England teams regular flights are all to do with the location of St Georges relative to BHX as HPsauce says.
The same goes for the F1 stuff as BHX is the closest suitable airport to Silverstone where many of the car manufacturers have their main racing team engineering facilities based.
I'm sure the sporting bodies will just contract various airlines to operate flights according to their requirements and the airline concerned deal with the the airports concerned in the normal way.
It departed 01.27 to Budapest TVL4365.Searching FR24 for 'OK-TVS' it would appear that the Smartwings B737-800 is still at BHX. Maybe Tui could make use of it until it's required to transport the Hungary football team home (probably on Wednesday).

Looking at the bhxmovementsblog seems the World2fly A359 positioned from Madrid yesterday operated combined Arreciffe/Teneriffe flight and doing Alicante/Ibiza today also a combined flight. They are also using a B763 to Espargos today which I think from memory has been a bit of a regular recently. Other widebodies for TUI today B788 to Palma and a B789 to Montego Bay.
To be fair to rollo, Ian's site does indeed list An A359 positioning in from Madrid on Fri 17th, before operating the services that he mentions. A search of FR24 for EC-NOI and EC-NTB however shows them both operating services out of Madrid. So, possibly an error on Ian's site.I think your getting confused with last weekend, no World2fly A359 this Friday/Saturday, and all TUI Saturday flights have been operated by their own aircraft, or 1 Titian A321, and the current based Privilege Style B752.
