TUI/Flybe/Birmingham South
TUI Winter 2018/9
Enfidha to continue into winter on a Friday before the Marrakech. Also added on a Friday is a second Hurghada making 4 short-haul required as well as Saturday and Sunday.
Flybe
Belfast City last inbound Monday and Tuesday (6th outbound) has been cut all winter as has the Glasgow but Monday only.
Birmingham South?
It appears that a second attempt was made this Tuesday to open up Birmingham south if FR24 data is anywhere near accurate with the replay facility showing Blue Air flight 0B151 (BMS7MB) from Bucharest descended down to around 675ft at 16.24 local (15.24 GMT) around the Balsall Common area (3-4 miles out?) before breaking off the approach and landing safely.
Maybe someone with more expertise might have a different or more accurate opinion or if indeed 675ft is a true reflection of the height it went around.
Anyone want to follow it with FR24 can see it on Tuesday 22 May YR-BMO 15.24 GMT.
After the Mahan Air incident albeit a few miles further out and lower this is fairly low for a built up area. Question is would this have happened with a fully serviceable ILS?
Not sure if the extended turnaround indicates some explaining was required or a knock from the ATC delays that day.
