Birmingham: Saudia Flight Status, Hub News & Discussion

It isn’t. Whole of September is open. It is simply aircraft rotation.

No its not....

BHX have confirmed to me 787X is correct

It’s not going to always going to be 78X, as the amount of seats the 78X has is far more larger, which means there’s a minimum amount a flight needs to have seats booked to have a specific aircraft on that route.

Will that be BHXs first B787-10?

It will be the first scheduled flight into BHX by a B787-10, we did however see Etihad A6-BLH divert in from us, from MAN on the 19/01/2020

That aircraft is a 789 Matt...did you mean BMH?
....although that aircraft wasn't delivered until the 22.1.2020

The suspense.... was it a 789 or 78X? 🙂

Searching on this excellent forum gave the answer... A6-BMD.

And not a photo of Spaghetti Junction anywhere. UK Media, take note with your outdated images of Britain's Second City. What a lovely refreshing image of Birmingham ;-)

There's no dude on a scooter though...

As time comes closer to 2nd July, does anyone have plans on trying this service?

 

[Scania1800]

Get ready everyone for a Great start to July…

HZ-ARC will be the 1st Saudia 787 to come to BHX

 

[Ianbutty]

Showing on arrivals on FR24 now. Getting there and great to see a 380 back.

 

[Creguk]

I really hope this does well!

 

[RichL]

Same here - whinge for ages for something different from Jet2 and RyanAir and get the chance but if nobody uses the service it'll be gone by Christmas.

Reported 180 on it inbound which represents 60% load factor on the 298 seater.

Not a bad start for the first inbound.Not sure what the load out was ?

 

[RichL]

Anybody get any pics or vids? Must have looked pretty good with the 380 right behind it.

Not right I get that but that was the next plane to land after it.

Why didn’t I just look in the picture thread…

Was there a Saudia flight today? Nothing showing on FR24 - thought the schedule was Su/Tu/Th?
