BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Kevin Farnell]

Wamos A330-300 (EC-NOF, AWC4883) is due back from LCA tomorrow at 02:03.
There is also a Hifly A340-300, but stated as 'cancelled'.

Wamos are being kept busy at BHX both today and Monday, according to FR24. Meanwhile, the HiFly A343 is showing departing today 10.15E, but didn't arrive, so i expect this won't happen.

I think it’s still here from yesterday

Are these flights linked to the evacuation of people from Sudan?

Arrived Saturday 03.25hrs, shown as departing BHX at 10.00hrs to Beja.

Yes information on Ian's site.

Indeed, i have just seen the HiFly A343 taxiing out at 11.30. No markings on it!.

I don't see anything from WAMOS for Monday, but FR24 is showing a TITAN A321NEO (G-POWT, AWC865) due from LCA at 17:07.

FR24 have obviously removed the Wamos for today. Perhaps the Titan A321 is more suited to the load. Potentially the last of the Sudanese refugees.
I have to say that watching the whole operation via FR24 and Planefinder over the last week or so, the RAF and chartered carriers have done a fantastic job in difficult and dangerous circumstances. Although listening to the BBC you would be given the exact opposite view, particularly last week. Most odd!!.

There is a rescue flight today from Port Sudan which from what I can find out on the mainstream media will be carried out by the RAF. So my guess is the RAF will take the refugees to Cyprus where the Titan A321 will complete the task.

It's not really in the BBC's DNA to credit a Conservative government with anything if can possibly be avoided.

I agree!. Titan G-POWT has just departed Stansted heading south east, so heading for Larnaca no doubt.
The RAF have been getting refugees out of Sudan and up to Cyprus, where the leased aircraft take over.
RAF Akrotiri has had a temporary base, consisting of Voyagers, C-17 Globemasters, Hercules and A400.

Sounds like the whole of what used to be called RAF Transport Command!

The Americans have only just started their airlift so it`s a not right to slag the UK off like the press are

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

Are we due another Air Canada 787-9 I know we have C-GWUU but apparently another is due soon

It's quite possible, if STS have a contract with Air Canada. I guess that Ian is the person that will know. If another does arrive, it is most likely that the same crew would fly C-GWUU back a day or so later.

TITAN A321NEO (G-POWT, AWC866) is due back again from LCA on Tue at 15:51.

 

[rollo]

The Titan A321 due back from Cyprus again today at 15:50 then down to position out to Stansted.

Meanwhile for TUI the Privilege 757 is operating today to Alicante for them, also TUI have two 789's operating to Montego Bay, Palma x 2 and Espargos plus a 788 to Punta Cana

One 789 has positioned in from Manchester along with a737 from Gatwick hopefully this is TUI sorting themselves out for summer unlike last year when they got ina bit of a pickle at times.
