I think it did two trips this week, one from the previous race in Austria and one from the team's base in Italy (near Bologna) on Monday and Wednesday respectively.

Today's (Sun) Saudia flight (SVA251, SVA250) is showing to have the registration HZ-AR23, which seems quite unusual.

RAF A332 ZZ343 in from Akritori at 18:16 out to Brize Norton at 20:35

Quite a lot of saudi aircraft have a mix sequence there are 3 B789 and all B78X
B773 all all letter/number sequence. This is because in most cases all the alphabet will be used
Just out of interest HZ-AR32 B78X is flying and should be delivered soon and is in the Green retro colours
which in my opion was a much better scheme.

Emirates and Qatar departed over a hour late today

Klasjet B735 LY-FLT Due in late tonight from and to Lisbon.

 

[A330]

Emirates and Qatar departed over a hour late today

Looking at FR24 it appears both flights made up some time on the return legs so not too bad considering, and certainly no concern for passengers with onward connections.

It's interesting to note the A380 turnaround has been extended by 20 minutes, however push back is still after schedule departure time after the first week of operations. I'm sure things will settle down in due course...

Today's EK A6-EVP first visit since A380 ops restarted possible first visit as only two years old/three years old

Emirates’ delay was minor compared to some of the flight delays yesterday.

For what it’s worth many other UK airports are suffering delays as bad as ours today,

You're being very harsh on Emirates mate!

This is where the information on flightradar24 can be misleading. The scheduled departure time is the pushback time, while the actual departure time is the airborne time.

According to flightstats, today's A380 flight pushed back at 14:44 so only 4 minutes late!

So in reality departed on time and showing landing estimated as 19 minutes ahead of schedule.

I have no info on the reason behind any delays but with airspace around Russia effectively closed for many airlines, routes heading east from Europe now look to be significantly restricted on the track they can take.

Just a quick look at FR24 shows how busy it is over Romania, Turkey and the Black Sea area. I wonder if ATC restrictions to manage the flow may be playing a part?

 

[Nethercote2019]

Also some very bad storms all over Europe particularly Germany yesterday
also our Saudia flight was delayed departing yesterday & similar delays occurred at LHR & MAN

What's to say the reason has anything to do with BHX?
The flight landed in DXB 19 min early. An on-time, or early arrival at DXB is much more important, as many pax will have had onward connections to catch.

RAF A330 Voyager (ZZ343, RRR2303) due from Akrotiri at 01:49.
