BHX Movements and Heads Up

[rollo]

Good idea to park the Air Tanker A330 over at the terminal to give the armed services veterans a high visibility and more public send off to the Invictus Games and also decent publicity for BHX.

I haven't heard any news of the England football squad using BHX to fly to Europe for the international game this weekend. That has been the trend over the last few years.

There's an Horizon 737-400 due in today from Bordeux at 13:30 departing later at 15:15to Wroclaw where England play Ukraine tommorow so thats likely it.

Hawker Siddely 125 , I am in agreement here. It looks mean and the Aston Martin of Bizjets.

Did we have any charters from Munich, Madrid or Damman in Saudia Arabia for Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Jordan Henderson to presumably meet up with there England colleagues

 

[Westland Wessex HC2]

Think the Corsair today was for England Rugby fans flying out for the match tomorrow in Marseille, returned to Cardiff to depart to Bordeaux (Wales playing there)

Hopefully see some more interesting charters over the course of the tournament also, if this is the case

Common sense to use R33 at 5.55am and wake more or less half of Birmingham up .Even though winds are 2MPH towards north

Ant, see Birmingham Airport regulations section 6:-

6 Use of Runways

(a) Preferential Runway.

Runway 33 will be selected as the preferred runway for departures and arrivals when the runway surface is dry and the
mean surface wind speed as displayed from Runway 33 anemometer site is 5 kt or less. Aircraft requiring the use of
Runway 15 must advise ATC and state that is for operational reasons.

 

[JENNYJET]

I thank Matt for his input, saves me from the bleeding obvious, Runway 33 is the default for operations given the prevailing winds and that UK has strong southerlies on the most rare of occasions. The original planners for Elmdon aerodrome decided thus one suspects.

The original Elmdon aerodrome 06-24 was the main runway, but due to the railway/a45 and high ground, when it was deemed not long enough the longer runway could only be 15-33

 

[JENNYJET]

I hear you Nethercote, but I did say " one suspects " and was not meant as a definite statement of fact. Have a good weekend.

England Team fly back on Enter Air SP-ENL B738 from Wroclaw ENT 4546 ETA 01.22. It returns to Katowice 02.20E.

Is that not the return flight for the England fans, who flew out on ENT 545 at 07:00 Saturday morning? The England team will most likely fly back to Glasgow for the Scotalnd game on Tuesday?

Unless they have a small training session at St Georges on Monday or Today and then fly up on a Loganair or something but I highly doubt it. Probably straight to Scotland and then presumably from Scotland back to BHX then the players make there own way back. Does anyone know If Harry Kane, Bellingham and Henderson got Private Jets from Munich, Madrid and Damman to BHX although Kane might have gone via London to visit Family before maybe getting a car to St Georges. I didn't notice any Private Jets I don't think.

 

[JENNYJET]

I think they travel as a team, a culture thing apparently. But onward travel back to clubs is a private matter once the team has been dismissed from camp.

The England football team flew direct to Glasgow from Poland after the game last night.

A C25 business jet few into BHX from Madrid on Monday afternoon departed to Luton next day, maybe carrying Jude Bellingham (speculation)

The England U21 are playing in Luxembourg this evening, could be the reason for the KlasJet 737 tonight. Sports charters especially the England national football teams provide some interesting acft into Brum with St Georges up the road.

Pampering the U21's with private jet travel now, lot of money in the game even for the youngsters.

Wouldn't Bellingham be with the team in Glasgow Kick off Is 8 I think so depending on what England do after the game debrief in Glasgow or St George's he may fly back from Glasgow

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Bellingham flight situation:
There are no scheduled flights from Glasgow tonight or tomorrow.

There is however a flight from Edinburgh at 9.25am tomorrow morning and a flight from Birmingham at 12.45pm
