Does "calling at" mean "routing via" or "landing/rolling at"??

From BBC News24 just now:

"Vulcan Falklands veteran to be on the flight deck this afternoon". Is Martin Withers taking the helm???
Just been on BBC Lunchtime News - Live! Looks like Martin Withers will be at the controls!!

Well done Auntie Beeb for some good coverage, especially for allowing XH558 to be heard without any talking during the line-up and take-off.

Apparently they will cover the landing at Brunty also

Top marks to the BBC for sticking with it despite the pause at the hold.
They even keep mentioning it on the weather.
