BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Nethercote2019]

I've just watched the Alba Star B737-800 (EC-NLK, LAV910P) arrive on FR24. Interestingly, it's parked on the western apron.

Maybe border control repatriation flight tomorrow ?

That seems a possibility. Titan have been tied up with Sudanese refugees. Also Thursdays are the usual day for Tirana repatriation flights.

Titan A21N G-POWT due in this afternoon from Larnica then down to depart back to Stansted from where it is about to start out to Larnica as I type bringing in more refugees no doubt.Meanwhile the Alba Star B738 due out to Tirana currently estimated at 0800 taking out some of those who are rather less welcome.

9K-GCC is a Kuwait government plane. This is only a guess, but the UK is trying to work out a trade deal with a bloc of Middle Eastern countries including Kuwait. Could this visit be related to that?

Or it’s bringing staff for the coronation. Not the major players but the flunkys etc.

TITAN A321NEO (G-POWT, AWC867) is due back from LCA at 16:16. The BBC are reporting that the last repatriation flight to the UK will operate today, so this could be the one. I'm very pleased that BHX has been able to play it's part in getting people to safety. Does anyone know what proportion of evacuees were flown into BHX?

Apologies, rollo. I tried posting this a while ago, but it just kept timing out. I couldn't open the forum homepage either. Finally able to post it, and noticed that you had posted about the same movement.

I would guess it is overspill parking as Manchester has a Qatar A340 in for a few day tonight

 

[rollo]

I do not know the proportion bought back BHX but it must be quite high which should make Brummies proud. The government has said several times that a particular flight will be the last one but as the situation in Sudan changes they have added additional flights to help British citizens which is to their credit.

Do you think the Kuwaiti was supposed to go to your local airport? What gives you that idea may I ask?

 

[rollo]

I think mulion means overspill from the London.

 

[Karl C]

I don't think he did

 

[mullion]

I did Karl , same as Qatari they were never intended to be for our local local airports but to make space as they usually do for big events like the queens funeral and climate which sent aircraft to other airports after the passengers were dropped . Stansted will be full and most of other traffic to LHR and LGW will not be encouraged

 

[Karl C]

My mistake....apologies for that. Would help if I wasn't reading it in the car on the motorway (as a passenger). Live n learn!

 

[mullion]

I am glad you were the passenger lol!

 

[Matt995]

Also showing, is an Air France A220-300 (AF1164), due from CDG at 10:00 on Thursday. No other details currently available.

Yesterday saw the first visit of an Air France Airbus A220-300, F-HZUK on the AF1164, landed at 09:57, & departed at 11:01, should be a few more on the AF1164/5 service over the next few weeks.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

According to Ian's blog. Turkmenistan B777-200 (EZ-A777), is due from STN at 13:35. Nothing showing yet on FR24.

There's some sort of big bash in London at the weekend maybe its something to do with that, there has been quite a lot of business jet activity in the last day or two along with the Kuwait governments B739 which is parked up.

I think you're right. Isn't HM King Charles III being given a hat or something?

That bit of wicked wit has lightened my mood somewhat.

Thank you Kevin and please forgive the topic drift
