BHX Movements and Heads Up

[HPsauce]

Qatar Cargo 777f in at 13:15 according to FR. Seems to be A7-BFQ at the moment! Nice to have some cargo 777’s again I guess, anyone know why we get these or how the airline is chosen as I remember it used to be EK

The Emirates B77F were while they sorted out slots at London Stansted.

British troops are in Estonia. Lots of uncertainty in this part of the world right now.

All to true unfortunately.

Just picked up on today that TUI operated three 789s one to Cancun and two to Bridgetown I don't think that has happened before, meanwhile I'm looking forwards to our trip to Bridgetown with TUI on a P&O charter in two weeks time. Will do a report on our return particularly referencing the BHX experience

Quite a few widebodies in today with three Emirates diversions (2 388 1 777 ) plus the National 744 a along with the regular scheduled stuff.

There will be a few occasions this winter when we have an extra TUI flight to Bridgetown on a Thursday or Sunday, yesterdays Cancun was actually a 788.

Only 2 Emirates diversions on Sunday, so 2 A380's & 2 B77W's on the deck, and i don't believe the 744 actually turned up?

Thanks for the corrections Matt.

The movementsblog stiil shows three TUI 789s including G-TUIF which as you say is indeed a 788 and FR24 has it as operated Cancun.

Regarding National 744 N952CA the blog shows as arrived at 1740 DWC departed 20:40 however FR24 shows no info for it so not sureas either can be wrong at times. So far as Emirates is concerned I'm afraid I got a bit carried away with the numbers - given myself a stiff talking to.

Finally yesterdays final diversion tally was seven with 2 Ryanair738,78M 2 Wizz A321,1 EasyJet A320 plus the TWO Emirates 380/777.

Cheers rollo

And those are in addition to the Maersk 767 and HKG 330, and anything else I may have missed. There'll be sinkholes over the Elmdon side soon with the amount of heavy action it's seeing at the moment.

All five heavies were due in a 2.5hr period this evening I'm amazed BHX has the handling capacity for this level of freight not that I'm complaining.

The runway will become even bumpier at this rate. Great to see though. Saw a video earlier of an A340 cargo at Bournemouth. One of those would be nice.

FR24 shows an ITA Airways A320neo (EI-INA) is due to arrive from Turin at 16:10. This will be for the Villa - Juventus game.

 

[Transport__Topic]

Enter air 738 (SP-ESH) in at 11:55 from Stockholm. I assume for the Jet2 charter flights!

Seems to be a last minute allocation switch, better things ahead

Been organised for months

Not on the allocation sheets it hasnt, it was registered as 788, but the company just put A7-ALJ on

Mackadown is correct details were posted on the Qatar thread in June by Matt995
It would be great if Qatar made it a regular A350 service giving increased capacity and a different aircraft type operating into BHX, mind you I'd prefer an increase to ten weekly with the 788 or even double daily

By the way it was the Qatar Crand Prix yesterday so connected with that?
