Hard Landings

I would love to go and see some attempted landings today as there are supposed 70 or even 80mph winds.

[JonnyBfs]

Any ideas on this?

TOM9018 Toronto 10:30 18:00 ESTIMATING AT
(on BFS arrivals)

Sunwing WG9018
Belfast
May 24, 06:30 Departed May 24, 06:36 1
(on YYZ departures)

[MontyP]

This summers based TOM aircraft. It's a Sunwing 738 instead of an A320

[JonnyBfs]

flying to Toronto? is this a charter one off?

[Cazza_fly]

flying to Toronto? is this a charter one off?

No it's arriving from Toronto. As MontyP has said it's a summer lease for Thomson Airways, though there may be a limited number of passengers onboard. It's due to go to Luton after though... It could actually be for the Dublin based Thomson unit though, as I believe they are having 1x 733 and a 738 from Sunwing there over the summer?

[tigger2k8]

I see FR has diverted 2 flights to BFS from LDY (according to arrivals page), however the LPL flight is showing as landed in BHD instead

edit - FMS has changed, FR 9884 was showing as landed in BHD and BFS for a short time

[Aaron9890]

Unknown flights

OAI872P Exeter 13:20

ST 2828 Munich 16:30

I believe they are Olympic Airlines and Germainia, but what are they doing at BFS?????

[planenut321]

OAI872P is a positioning flight from NQY/EXE which had operated to Verona for Newmarket and is a Tor Air flight. It will be operating a charter to Verona from BFS at 14:30. A Newmarket flight I would imagine.

[Aaron9890]

I live in the outskirts of doagh and I see the planes on their flightpath in to BFS. I just saw a TCX from Mahon ( I checked the website). Does anyone know what aircraft it was, it looked big like a B757

[clareview]

Mahon flight

Surprising if its a B757 as I would have assumed A320/321. Grateful for any info

[david1994]

TCX Mahon flight TCX8119/8118

It was a B757-200 (G-OJIB) currently on stand 21 for return to Mahon.

Any signs on the horizon of a BFS-BHX route starting up ??

I`m going to Belfast in November and would be VERY keen for easyJet to start the route - Save me going up to LPL ( better flight times then MAN )

I know it maybe wishfull thinking but I travel to Belfast about 3x a year and would gladly welcome easyJet at BHX !!

[frequentflyer2]

I'm sure you have your reasons but why don't you just travel on Flybe to BHD? bmibaby are doing it now as well.

[david1994]

Sunwing Airlines B738 Tech?

Anyone know whats up with the B738 tonight?
TOM1184 Burgas 19:10 DELAYED INDEFINITELY

[Jamie2k9]

It's expected into Bourgas at 15:50 tomorrow.

BFS - PMI due in 09:55 delayed 23:35
PMI - BFS due in 20:50 delayed 10:10 on Wednesday

All details on Thomson website.

The PMI delay may change because I can't see LDY staying open until 02:30 on Wednesday for the arrival from PMI and the departure at 03:30.

[ib26uk]

I do have my reasons - I love easyJet !!!

I always fly flybe -- 17 flights in 3 years across the UK -- Would like a change -- Plus I dont like bmibaby - Too many flights cancelled with them - Has left a sour taste...

[BHD2BFS]

hey, just wondering if anyone has heard anymore news/ rumours about the possibility of aer lingus regional starting from the airport??

thanks

[CARNMANORLAD]

So does the a/c that shouldve done Belfast-Bourgas and Belfast-Palma do the Derry-Palma route today? If so will it come back from Palma to Belfast and then take the Bourgas folk?
