BHX Movements and Heads Up

[mullion]

Looks as if it is going to do a set programme each day, wonder if KLM have got aircraft on major overhaul over winter as PH-XRY is getting a bit boring now after several months lol.

These flights were meant to be operated by E295, however groundings required KLM needing loaned aircraft to cover the flights. It up to transavia / KLM what aircraft they get and change overs.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the Air. Air Canada 787 Dreamliner that took off from BHX-Toronto today at 11,55. Was this a divert in, or a charter or something?

It's been with STS for the last few weeks following delivery to Air Canada from Boeing, I believe we are due another in at some point.

Thanks Rollo. Yes it did say the aircraft was brand new on FR24. Shame we don’t have a Canada route again. I was under the impression it was well used.

Today’s Avanti Air flight is positioning in from Lahr (Black Forest) Airport.

interesting bit of trivia: the aircraft (D-AASG) used to be G-JEDR, a former BHX regular.

FR24 showing RAF A330 Voyager (ZZ338, RRR2885) due from Ascension Island (ASI) tomorrow at 08:46. Then departs to Prestwick (PIK) as RRR2812 at 10:15. FR24, also shows that RRR2885 originated in Mount Pleasant (MPN).

It is possible that it took Lord Cameron out to the Falklands in his capacity of Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary, but all things are likely !

It's certainly possible. The aircraft's previous flights were BZZ - ASI - MPN.

I won't speculate on the movements of members of His Majesty's Government, but I think other forum members may guess at the reason for this flight.

Ian's site shows a Cargojet 763 C-GXAJ due from Rzeszow at 16:50 nightstopper

Now showing on FR24, but ETA is only showing as 'scheduled'. However, searching FR24 for the registration 'C-GXAJ' shows it 'live', currently on the ground at Rzeszow (RZE). Not likely to be at BHX by 16:51.

You are quite correct in not engaging in speculation of ministerial movements, an error on my part.
Thank you Kevin Sir !

It was not intended as a criticism, JENNYJET. The fact that he was going to the Falklands, was already in the public domain (reported by the BBC). It was his return that I wasn't speculating on.

FR24 showing Star Air B767-300 (no reg given, SRR2128) due from BLL at 07:04.Departs back to BLL at 09:00 as SRR2127.

The Star Air B763F landed, and the Cargojet B763F lined up behind for departure. When did we last see two B763F on the BHX runway ?. Possibly a first!.

 

[rollo]

The Cargojet 767 departed to StJohns Newfoundland, meanwhile the TUI789 that positioned in yesterday from Gatwick is now over with STS and one of the two Jet2 737s currently with them is due out on a test flight this morning according to Ian's bhxmovementsblog.

Noticed a tui upgrade from a B787-8 to a B787-9 on the Singapore route today.Must be a very popular route at the moment.Good to see

Or is because G-TUIF has a door missing after a mishap at BHX with set of stairs
