BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Brum X]

It will be nice to see Aeroflot fly Birmingham International BHX as-well - we must be proud of Birmingham - We need Russia in the midlands- (PRAY FOR PEACE IN WORLD )

Aeroflot are not welcome at BHX and we certainly do not need Russia in the midlands.

Glad they have been kicked out of the sporting events, and glad that today they were kicked out of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Howrver to any friendly Russian citizens who have made Birmingham your home, you are most welcome. I have no beef with you what so ever

Re: PPE, why oh why do we need to import PPE from the likes of Russia and China anyway. Can we not even make PPE in the UK ?

This is laughable, even though a few extra 777s was a nice bonus at BHX , I would rather we didn't have to import basic stuff like PPE in the first place ?

I would assume that in the light of sanctions imposed this morning, there will be a ban on freight flights into BHX from Russian airports....

All flights from Russia to the UK and in UK air space have been banned, along with any Russian registered aircraft and any aircraft hired by a Russian company (wherever it's registered). Having said that, there don't appear to have been any freight flights from Russia to BHX for a couple of weeks.

I agree. The world's anger is not at the Russian people, or your airline. It is at your leader and his cronies. When he is gone and you are free of tyranny, you are more than welcome to fly into BHX. We need vodka!

A lot of Flybe flights to/from BHX later today. Could this be related to publicity and route announcements?

For anyone not understanding my post (sorry, my fault for not making it clear), these flights are listed as BHX - BHX.

No idea really, Kevin. Although on another site it is suggested that an announcement is imminent. If they intend to start in April they will have to firm up on plans very quickly. I have no idea on their fleet size to get started. I did catch sight of the Dash-8-400 on approach a couple of times during the morning.

A359 (EC-NGY) due at 3ish today Iberojet from Madrid

 

[HPsauce]

Iberojet A359 landed 15.04 on runway 15. A glimpse through the gloom at around 900 feet.

The Iberojet A359 is due out to Harare, Zimbabwe at 22.45E. I think this is the first time we have had a direct flight there. I noticed via FR24 that it parked on the cargo apron.

I noticed that a Star Air B767-200 (OY-SRJ, SR6978), arrived at BHX from CGN at 01:12. It departed to BFS at 03:18 under the flight number AWC6978.
Searching FR24 for 'SR6798' show this to normally operates via EMA, as does 'AWC6978'. Is there more work underway at EMA to cause it to route via BHX?
