I am so proud that SAUDIA are so busy now hope major airlines see Birmingham means business and we have more new airlines I had a dream last night UNITED were to start 2024 Birmingham what a dream hope it comes true- love Birmingham International Airport x x

Yeah Keep Dreaming that at happening anytime soon. You also have weird dreams if you dream about that.

I wouldn’t say it’s odd, I think it’s another way of starting rumours

A very nice find. Saudia appear to be doing a lot of things right with their onboard experience.

I noticed this was filmed on a Tuesday, so Saudia and Emirates passengers amongst the many other flights in a very packed departure lounge. I can only imagine what Sunday would be like with Qatar leaving around the same time!

The lack of seating in the departure lounge (if you're not interested in the shops) is evident.

Also, great to read the caption 'the flight was full'.

Very odd way to start a rumour. You know Dream about the fact you were with a girl you had a crush on or something not about an airline if you do Keep it private

That's a great video, it looks a decent product.

I can definitely relate to that family. Me desperately trying to see everything all at once, kids so excited that they're bouncing and Mrs F walking along bleary eyed saying "I'm tired"

Video confuses people why they went Dubai and didn’t take emirates

Cost?

Cost?

Not really a big difference cost wise, only a £100 less or so usually the same if not higher with saudia as it’s using more fuel than a direct like emirates

It is so true Birmingham would do well with more airlines - this is another example thank you and well done for the video

Think BHX best chance is when AA and United receive their A321XLRs.These will mostly be used to replace their 757 TATL fleet,on existing routes.However a chance they could try BHX again, with a far more fuel efficient plane than a 757. It might work..

Subject to change, tomorrows SV253 is 787-10 HZ-AR32 which wears the new retro livery, this is also the aircrafts first revenue flight following its delivery on August 28th from Boeing Field

Thats interesting, according to FR24 it was due to fly to MAN today but seems not to have panned out. Suggests there could also be a last min change tomorrow in that case but fingers crossed...

Aircraft wasn’t ready in time for the MAN flight

 

[Land23R]

Today's MAN flight is a B777W (showing on FR24) due to a backlog of passengers when a B789 had to be used as the B787-10 wasn't available. Thanks to SPD Travels for the information.
The SV253 is showing as a B787-10 on FR24 en route.

It does seem the Saudi flights to both BHX and MAN have been very busy.

Cost saudia quite a lot with that aircraft change!

I've only checked a few dates in June, July and August but it seems as if they'll be using the 78X on quite a few Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Will be happening almost every week on July

Now the fleet of 78x have grown they will be a lot more common, they look so much better than 789
