BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Birmingham Aviation]

Look at the airport 3 years ago.
Only Pia and KLM and the odd flight from Dublin.

Look now:

Ryanair expansion
Saudia starting 3 weekly flights
Qatar coming back for daily flights
Jet2 expansion
Easy jet expansion
Tui expansion
Eurowings to Prague
Vueling to Paris

All looking good for summer

Titan A320 G-POWM positions in from Aberdeen at 20.25E. Quite probably to take the England squad to Naples for Thursday's match.

Incorrect.Basically the two ATR72 flights got cancelled and I think A320 titan came to the rescue

The England flight is showing as a Titan A321 arriving tommorow at 13:00 departing BHX at 15:00 to Naples

According to FR24 the Titan A320 arrived in from Stansted this afternoon and appears to have operated 2 trips to Aberdeen for Loganair.

Should be the Government one with the Union Jack on then hopefully G-GBNI as their only other A321 is elsewhere in Europe at the moment

FR24 is reporting it as G-POWN, which is in an all white scheme.

ready for surrender?

Was that the freighter?

Was that the freighter?

That would have the England football team and staff loaded on in pallets. No, last summer it was on lease to Jet2 and having it all white, makes it easy to add a basic airline name. When it comes off lease, it doesn't need a complete re-paint.

It’s not the first as we always get A21N coming in to bhx

 

[Karl C]

İt's the first time TC-LTR has visited BHX

İt's the first time TC-LTR has visited BHX

1 month old A321 But doesn’t change anything other than the interior being more clean

 

[Karl C]

More efficient engines, upgraded business class to what the A321 CEO's have etc etc. İf there was no difference, I'm sure the airlines wouldn't buy them.
Plus there are some peeps on here who like the heads up that a new plane for their spotter book is coming in

CEOs are uncommon to see at BHX, I also see that the MAX will return in summer

I think you're missing the point......and yes, as of tomorrow the Max 8 is being used on the morning service. But expect the Max 9 from time to time plus maybe the A321 CEO and NEO.

National 747-400 N919CA finally on its way from Ostend, slightly later than scheduled, believe its still a planned night stop due out tomorrow at 1300

 

[rollo]

Yes indeed it landed at 19:49 and is a night stopper. Nice to see them back you can't beat the sight of a 747. I wonder if this is a one off or the start of a series of charters as happened last year ?
