I heard this week that they cannot operate these type of cargo flights from STN and they have been very impressed with Blue City and BHX

I’d also love to know what is in Cavok AN-12 aircraft we see periodically. UR-CBG is about to arrive from Algiers.

Quite a variety recently, we see a 757 from swift air today, a 767F from Uzbekistan, ASL 737
Should see a few more 747s coming from national, maybe some more hints for that CA 777F too

GEODIS A333F is currently on it's way back from China via Tashkent.
It is showing due at STN at 08.35 Saturday, on FR24, but suspect it is actually due at BHX as per usual.

few recent ones on Flt Radar have shown on STN arrivals as"Diverted to BHX"
One rumour is that SE England had reached theit allowed quota of Chinese flts so had to come to BHX.
No idea if that's true but may fit ?

Would a region have a quota on flights, rather than a country?

STN is not authorised to handle the cargo but BHX is 🙂

It’s just passed north London at 23k ft heading north so pretty sure it will be here in next half hour

I saw this posted on the MAN forum -
Is that the service that was originally thought to be operating from BHX (and later STN)? and if so, could the MAN acquisition of a hi-low loader, have implications for BHX's other 'heavy' freighters (I'm not wanting to start another BHX v MAN war, so sensible replies only please)?

Air China still showing on BHX screen and even have stand number allocated, so hoping it will start at some point.

TBF Brum is in an excellent location in the UK to receive cargo and I don't think we should shy away from the notion that we are in competition with MAN because we are.
If they are looking for suggestions about where to locate their hi-loader I'm happy to provide suggestions.

No one is denying that BHX is in competition with MAN, but it is in the manner that it is discussed that can be an issue. Which is why I asked for sensible replies only.
This comes across as antagonistic and is exactly the type of reply we wish to avoid. It certainly doesn't fit with a 'sensible reply'.
Any further antagonistic replies, will be deleted.

@Kevin Farnell totally agree as we have the same issue in Yorkshire from the DSA mob who currently bash LBA. Nothing wrong with passionately supporting your local airport but we should all embrace any positivity in our beloved industry
