BHX Movements and Heads Up

[rollo]

Pardon the question, however I have been on holiday for a couple of weeks. Who/what/why are the National flights operating?

Many thanks

So far as I understand nobody on hear knows or is not prepared or able to say as apparently its sensitive the flights appear to arrive from various USA or European points and are loaded and depart to Houston lately via Shannon for some reason.

Whatever it is its great to see the Queen of the skies and two at the same time yesterday will probably never been seen again at BHX.

The picture on Jetphotos, shows it to be matt black. Quite unusual.

FR24 is showing an Air Transat A320 due from Montreal (YUL) on Tue 24 May at 07:15. Currently, there is no info on registration or flight number.

Correction to my above post, the aircraft is an A321-NEO (C-GOIF, TSC70, ETA 06:39). That's the same flight number as C-GOIE that arrived on 18/5/22. I wonder if the crew that delivers this one will fly the return of C-GOIE?

Looking online, Air Transat have 10 A321-NEO's. I wonder if they will all pass through BHX for attention with STS?

FR24 shows A330 CS-WFP of World2fly will be arriving from Madrid around 15:30 and subbing for TUI on their flight to Paphos tonight - i make that the third airline to have operated for TUI in the past week!

 

[Kevin Farnell]

I see that today's National B747 departed direct to Houston (IAH). I wonder if the previous flights that routed via SNN were because of the fuel upload problems at BHX?

FR24 is showing an AirX CRJ2 (9H-YOU, AXY939R) due from STN at 10:27. I'm puzzled as to why FR24 refers to the aircraft as a 'Mitsubishi Challenger 850' (I've seen it use this name before). Surely, the manufacturer is Bombardier.

I suspect it could have been for crew changes. I noticed other National flights, for example from Frankfurt, that called in at Shannon but relatively brief stops and on the same days.

Bombardier sold the CRJ series (of which the Challenger is based on) to Mitsubishi in the last couple of years.

Thanks, I had not been aware of that.

B757 9H-AVM belonging to Jet Magic due in tonight from Iqaluit YFB to Marcel-Dassault Airport CHR.

According to FR24 the Tui flight from Dalaman G-TAWW was diverted to EMA in the early hours of today and Tui also positioning in a 788 this morning from MAN.

According to FR24 the Tui flight from Dalaman G-TAWW was diverted to EMA in the early hours of today and Tui also positioning in a 788 this morning from MAN.

Looking at the playback on FR24, G-TAWW appeared to be inbound to BHX before making a right turn to EMA. Now looking at the flight history of TOM/BY541, it is listed as inbound to EMA at 03:41 from DLM (unknown) and inbound BHX from DLM at 04:22 (diverted to EMA). Is this a combination of two flights, as FR24 shows G-TAWW's next flight to be EMA - PMI at 08:10? With all the aircraft shuffling that TUI have been doing, this wouldn't surprise me.

TOM541 is actually the Dalaman to Aberdeen flight, gives you an idea the massive issues they have at present, our 787 Friday evening Dalaman flight never departed, I wonder what has happened to the outbound 300 passengers, and the inbound passengers! TUI are in a mess!

 

[Karl C]

I thought Friday evening was to Larnaca and previously Bourgas. Asking only for confirmation of the myriad changes that Tui make/are making at present.

Cheers Karl

Yes indeed Karl, the Friday night dreamliner flight is Larnaca not Dalaman, its just hard to keep up with it at present!!!

My cousin was due to fly out today with Tui. 12 hours at BHX with delays to be told it’s cancelled. Bad with the children in tow!
