Sitting up late last night (or more precisely, early this morning - Sunday), FR24 showed Learjet 45 M-ABJA inbound BHX at approx 02.40. FR24 reports this aircraft as Ryanair. Would this just have been ferrying crew, or was it on more of a business related journey?

Isn't it O'Leary's "private jet", although I believe it has been used to ferry crew/engineers.

Nothing is confirmed at the moment but there’s a possibility we could see this on repatriation flights.

Thirty seven departures today the best yet including Jet2 (11),TUI(3) as well as LH,KLM,AF, Wizz, Turkish, Vueling, Easyjet, Eurowings,
Loganair and Ryanair with ten, they have been up to fifteen on one day this week.

Still creeping up with a bit of variety.

A bit of long haul would be nice does anyone know anything about Tui long haul I know that BGI must be still pencilled in for late October as P&O still plans to operate it Carrabean season subject to the government lifting it cruise advice, they removed some restrictions this week so all very much subject to change.

Nothing to Gambia? Again, nothing ex BHX to somewhere popular, makes me want to vent unpleasantly! No matter, I can never fly again for medical reasons.....

 

[Ray Finkle]

Last time I looked (a couple of days ago) The Gambia Experience were still selling holidays departing from Birmingham with the flight listed as TUi.

I can't double check as their website isn't working for me at the moment.

 

[JENNYJET]

Last time I looked in a Gambia Experience brochure, sometime last century before my illness struck me down, the only flight was ex LGW with Britannia Airways so I chose Colombo through Kuoni on a SriLankan A340 ex LHR. I thought if I had to endure a London flight why not get a decent day of spotting with my camera then enjoy a 13 hour non-stop flight on my favourite airplane!

Monday should see a visit from an Alitalia A319, AZ9002 from Bologna due at 09:30, thinks it's related to F1, and the British GP at Silverstone at the weekend.

Talking of Alitalia, once business travel gets back to some sort of normality then maybe BHX-Milan could be a route they might want to consider in the future. I remember they did operate this route for a short period a few years ago, however with Flybe on the route at the time they didn't stay around for long.

What do people think ?

Would be nice to see Alitalia back, yes they did operate for a while a daily service to Milan on E175's, but it didn't last long! Mind you with all their financial issues over the years, can't see it happening in the next few years, especially if Wizz Air are possibly considering a BHX-MXP service!

 

[JENNYJET]

It is good to see flag carriers and Alitalia is colourful not typically corporate!

 

[Coathanger16]

Doubt we'll see Alitalia any time soon if ever unfortunately:

Alitalia to become “mini-Alitalia”

Sky TG24 Italy reports that “mini-Alitalia” will comprise just 25-30 aircraft and 3,000 employees.

It will be a quarter of Alitalia’s present size and will resemble the Alitalia of 1957.

The nationalised carrier is set to have 25-30 aircraft and 3,000 employees.

Fairly confident Milan will return to the BHX departure boards whether it be Wizz or easyJet.
