Wow Thank you Kevin, could be medical so a quick turnaround I might catch its return to BZZ.

Just seen on FR24, a B737-700 on KLM 1421 into BHX. First time I've seen a B737 on the AMS service for a while.

the night stopper has been a 737 since the 3rd December, currently both flights are due to be 737's. Be interesting to know if its due to passenger demand, or freight demand!

Gullivair A330 200 LZ-ONE has just landed on 15 from Sofia, Bulgaria. Presumably freight.

FR24 showing a Gulfstream G550 (sorry, no reg given) inbound to BHX from Minneapolis (KSTP). I'm always intrigued as to what business these flights are undertaking (not that I'm likely to find out).

Could it be a transfer of US government officials post election? Birmingham probably has an office of the Federal government and Mr. Biden is getting his people in place perhaps?

Aircraft is Gulfstream G550 N73M owned by 3M Inc. It visits quite often,big manufacturer of PPE and have a large office in Atherstone.Regards,Simon.

 

[JENNYJET]

Thank you Elmdon74, had to be an innocent visit.

Watching FR24, it looks like Dornier 228 D-IROL is inbound to BHX (although FR24 is stating that it is doing Paris (LBG) to Mannheim (MHG)).
Not seen 228 in a while so nice to see one inbound to BHX.
