BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Birmingham Aviation]

Please can you post them under each airline's individual forum (e.g. Birmingham Airport Forum > Easyjet, Ryanair etc). The BHX Movements and Heads Up thread is for one off flights, sports charters etc. This helps to keep the forum neater and more easily searchable.

Thanks.

Not gonna argue here however I have done it before on this thread.I don’t see what the issue is.I understand your point by making it neater.What posts I’m doing is actually heads up basically for each week.Not the end of the world.

nothing stopping you Ant from starting a new thread, for summer 2024 flights?

Please lets keep it simple and not have posts all over the place in different threads.
If a post relates to new/re-instated services by an airline, or a permanent upgrade/downgrade of an aircraft type, then it should be posted in that airline's thread for that airport.
If the post is more general and covers several airports, then it should be posted in that airline's thread in the Worldwide Airlines forum.
If discussing one off or unusual flights, then post it in the Movements and Heads Up thread for that airport.
This will help keep the forums neat and easy to navigate, as well as easing the workload on moderators, who give their time for free.

All I’m saying is it’s a Heads Up post that I’ll be doing .Ive already sorted what I was doing on my notes .If I change it will ruin what I planned

 

[Aviador]

The Heads Up threads ( they are in each airport forum as a standard thread topic) The thread was created for visiting traffic, unusual one-off aircraft, that type of thing. This means whichever airport forum you visit you know what to expect. If you want to post about services re-starting then you must use the relevant airline thread within your airport forum.

Send me a personal message with an idea of what you want to post and we'll come to a solution

The ROM Cargo B747-400F (YR-FSA) that Ian says is due on Saturday evening -

Looks like BHX have turned away Air China due to large numbers of B744's recently with a third operator starting Saturday evening using YR-FSA

Has departed HKG and is heading West South West over Vietnam, but destination is shown on FR24 as 'N/A'. No info is showing for it's arrival at BHX. I assume that like the other B747-400F flights from HKG, that it will have an intermediate stop. Hopefully, more info later.

YR-FSA has been regularly flying from Hong Kong via Sharjah to Europe then back direct to Hong Kong.
Last week it flew twice to Maastricht and Last Saturday to LHR so hopefully today its heading for us.

Edit :
Just checked freight departures at Sharjah the ROM 744F shown as scheduled departure at 15:15 local time to BHX so should with us this evening, currently over the Indian Ocean heading towards the UAE.

FR24 is showing RAF A400M (ZM412, RRR4957) due from Izmir (ADB) at 16:25. Departs to BZZ at 18:15, using the same flight number.

ROM Cargo Airlines B747-400F (YR-FSA, RCR3313) is now showing on FR24 due from Sharjah (SHJ) at 18:47. No departure from BHX showing.

 

[rollo]

It's down as a nightstopper so I assume it will depart sometime tomorrow direct to Hong Kong after the crew have completed their mandatory rest period.

Is the ROM Cargo B744F a completely new service, or replacing another service?.

Ian's post in the Birmingham Airport Cargo Operations thread -

indicates that it is a third operator on the route. The other two being Air Atlanta Icelandic (in it's various guises) and One Air. I'm not sure wht they're transporting, but there must be a lot of it.

Thanks Kevin. I had overlooked the ' third operator ' mention. Good to see another livery, and again, no idea what they are bringing in!.

operating the heavily delayed TOM854 09:40 departure to Montego Bay, looks like we are collecting broken TUI dreamliners at present G-TUIC joining G-TUIF on the sidelines!

FR24 showing Sundair A319 (9A-ZAG, SDR81ED) due from Zagreb (ZAG) at 12:14. Departs to Bremen (BRE) at 13:45 as SDR85HF.

[Kevin Farnell]

FR24 is showing 2Excel B737-700 (G-NEWG, BRO922P) due from Dubai (DWC) tomorrow at 13:12. No departure from BHX showing.

That seems a long way, for a little 737.

Just a few different bits and pieces for today.

The Star Air B767 EMA Monday diversion was in again during the night operating from Cologne to Belfast.

The Wamos A333 EC-NTX operating for TUI due in from Montego Bay 10:05 27hrs late.

Quite nice to see a Dash 8 again which is on lease to Aurigny for a while to replace the EMB-190 and seems to be getting around a bit
