A ZT flight number is definitely assigned by Titan Airways who are a long established and very reputable outfit based at London Stansted.


ZT has been Titan's IATA designator for many years but sees little use because they mainly fly for other airlines on those airlines' flight numbers.


ZJ was Air Zambezi's IATA designator before they ceased operations in late 2012.

Emirates schedule a 1hr 50mins turn round for the A380 at MAN, so 2 hours should be sufficient if ground handling does their job efficiently

A380 23rd March

Hi Folks,
Are there any further details on timings for the A380 proving flight on 23rd March? The last update (bhx_bod) mentioned arriving 10ish? Is there any more info on that?

I'm going to have baby-Philflies in tow, so can't hang around for hours like I used to!

Regards

Philflies,re route proving flight EK A380.

The latest info I have is a late afternoon early evening arrival from Hamburg on Tuesday 22nd.
The aircraft is due to stay roughly 24 hours.I am afraid I have no definite times to give you at this moment.
As you and others can see it has changed yet again,as it appears a new aircraft is involved after all.
If I can get something more definite then I will post times,but don't hold your breath.
I would have thought that getting publicity for something like this would be of great use for BHX.Strange nothing official has come from the airport people themselves.

At the moment it's expected from Hamburg at 18:20 on the 22nd.

Departure is due for 18:00 on the 23rd.

It's definitely still subject to change as it's been moved several times already.

Departure is due for 18:00 on the 23rd.
Back to Hamburg or onwards to Dubai? A6-EOW looks to be in the last stages of customer acceptance so may be a combined demo/delivery flight?

F-WWSJ (which is the prospective A6-EOW) has just started descending off the east coast of the UK, flying as AIB207F according to FR24. It seems to be heading in the rough direction of BHX.
