Sun Air OY-JJK just landed on SUS679A. Was displaying as "HA4T" on Flightadar 24.

Of more interest is that we appear to have had a pseudo-freighter in the guise of Qatar 777 A7-BAU which arrived as QR8326 at 06.56 and left as QR8327 at 08.50

The Qatar freight flights have been running for over a week with the B77W, in addition to the 4 weekly A359 passenger flight.

They run 4 weekly 0720/0850 and another is due tomorrow.

The 1st Hainan 789 is about 3 hours away (reckon it will land between 8.40 and 9.00). B-207J

Tad later than that as it is about 50 miles out from Newcastle this time (09.15)

 

[David_itl]

Errr... I was talking 'zulu time', covering my tracks not quite quickly.

 

[mullion]

Ha Ha OK I believe you.

Interesting departure at about 1550 flight PK8711. Now PIA B777 are not unusual however this once was heading out towards the Atlantic. Any thoughts?

also semi-interesting is the "711" part of the flight number. Remember when we had up to 3 777s a day crossing the pond, PK711 was one of them, albeit routing to JFK.

UAE17 A6-EPK due around 1125

 

[Land23R]

Thanks David. As I write, it's just south of Bonn. The flight is not showing on arrivals so is it just carrying freight in both directions?

 

[David_itl]

Ii expect so. AEE4914 SX-DGY just landed. Neither of these flights were on showing on MAN arrivals. In fact, there were something like 3 flights only that were listed!

 

[Scottie Dog]

HU701 789 B-208T has just landed (at 0915)

I can't confirm that the numbers showing, on FR24, for aircraft on the ground at Manchester is 100pc accurate, but the numbers are certainly pretty high!!
