Birmingham: Aircraft Movements, Flight Logs & Daily Heads Up

[rollo]

Quite nice to see a Dash 8 again which is on lease to Aurigny for a while to replace the EMB-190 and seems to be getting around a bit

This particular DH-8 has been operating in from Stuggart since before Christmas as a charter for Mercedes arriving early on Mondays sometimes stopping all week other times positioning out to various destinations but always does a return run on Friday afternoons back to Stuggart.

Todays flight for AurIgny is a first as far as I can recall.

I was checking for this earlier this evening Kevin. I noticed it flew from Hong Kong to DWC earlier this morning and guessed BHX was the final destination. FR24 was showing nothing however, earlier this evening.

These flights do tend to appear at 'late notice' on FR24.

This particular flight now appears to be a regular Wednesday flight running for the last few weeks routing
HKG-DWC-BHX-HHN.

Are you sure that's a B77X, Ian? Boeing have been having problems with certification of the B777X, leading to a long delay into service. Also, is that the first EK B777 freighter into BHX?

Hi Kev,

İt's not the first time an EK Skycargo 77L has been into BHX. A while ago now, but remember seeing one on the Elmdon side. May even have been EFO. Couldn't swear to that though 🤔

It is a B77L but shows as B77X as the type on some systems

Dug this out from the BHX website.

On the18th May 2017 Emirates Skycargo operated a B777F to Chicago transporting cars for
Jaguar-Land Rover. Checking back on Ians site the registration was A6-EFM.

That's todays usless information.

The National B744F is currently routing DWC to LEI so perhaps not for us?.

N952CA is departing Liege for Guangzhou 12.45. Oh well. Another time perhaps.

Emirates B777 (A6-EFO, EK9916) is now showing on FR24 as due from AMS at 11:30. No departure from BHX showing. This means that the Emirates A380 and the B777 should be on the ground at the same time.

[EDIT] - FR24 is now showing the Emirates B777 departing to DWC at 15:43 as EK9916, the Emirates A380 (A6-EUX, EK40) departing to DXB at 13:40.
