BMI Baby At Birmingham??

I've noticed that on a Sunday at Birmingham, BMI Baby runs a flight to Toulouse. Any reasons why this service is run from Birmingham on a Sunday instead of the usual base at East Mids??

According to the bmibaby website the WW5711 runs on Sundays from EMA to TLS.

And according to the BHX website the only carriers flying BHX-TLS are BA, Air France and flybe.

What’s your source on this one?

I believe this one is a weekly IT flight

Flybhx,

This may sound a bit ignorant, but whaddya mean by IT fllight????

As far as I was aware, Flybe operate 1 rotation, 6 times a week on a DH8-Q400, (AF codeshare), and BA used to have 1 rotation on a Saturday (operated by Maersk) on a CRJ, but I'm not sure whether this is still running.

flybhx: You are wise in the ways of BHX indeed: It is an IT flight: the WW5713 departing at 1150 on behalf of Airtours Holidays.

I should have thought to check IT flights as well as scheduled. Easy226 threw me of the scent for a minute there by suggesting that it replaced the EMA flight on a Sunday .

Dixie Normus: IT means ‘inclusive tour’, i.e. charter flights on behalf of package holiday companies.

Or a plane load of Tara Palmer Tompkinsons and Lady Victoria Herveys going shopping in Paris or Milan!

What is the collective noun for a group of IT girls I wonder? An itch perhaps?
