BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Birmingham Aviation]

Good work Carl.

B77W Thai airways due in at 11am from Brussels

 

[jfy1999]

The Thai was a diversion from Heathrow. Kudos to them for trying to get their passengers as close to their destination as possible.

yes I agree along with ETH to MAN ET-BAX which is on its way

BHX thread fella...maybe put your diversions to your local airport on your local thread

Today’s EK37 is surprisingly showing as A6-EED, A380 on the evening service, although most likley a mistake

Maybe. There's 6 flights a day to Heathrow - probably shoving some of those passengers onto that - can't upset passengers on the golden goose route.

Also, it is delayed by an hour and a bit - now scheduled to leave Dubai (their time) at 16:05 as opposed to 14:50

EDIT: now back to 15:20

I have got confirmation, it’s definitely happening. Should’ve been gone at 15:20, however now showing as 15:50
Edit: now showing 16:17, this is due to the extra load of Heathrow Passengers on this flight today

EK37 has just departed DXB and has indeed been upgraded to an A380.

Tomorrow mornings Qatar service has been upgraded to a B77W (A7-BAE)

This is due to Heathrow bookings transferred, another 777 by emirates is expected to come, although has been cancelled. I’m not sure if it’s an error or not. Flight was EK2543, operated by a 777. Emirates booked train tickets for operator Avanti west coast, however no update has been given since cancellation.

 

[RichL]

I wonder if they'd do it for any other airport than Heathrow.

Magic 8 ball says 'doubt'

I often used to use Swiss air & could buy an all in 1 ticket from BHX to any Swiss rail station & even put your luggage on at the return station & not touch til back in U.K.
I always thought Virgin would of seen potential of doing similar as we are the only airport with mainline station attatched
But of course man with beard said no !

No sorry not the trains - upgrade another airports aircraft to appease their biggest customers airport being out of action.

Prob a lot of plats and invitation only customers on the Heathrow flights so have to keep them sweet.

Correct, but they're the first summer 2025 routes to get going. Hope it's a great one for BHX

I think this year will be a rollercoaster.Hope the Airport can expand on from this winter this summer onto next winter.

 

[jfy1999]

Tomorrow we have an A320 of Leav Aviation (D-ANDI) due to arrive from Cologne at around 14.30. It seems to be operating the charter to Stuttgart in place of the usual Avanti Dash 8.
