Conversions of Airbus A321s to freighter version P2F started only recently and one of the first examples entered the fleet of Titan Airways. Interestingly, this aircraft has its new registration G-POWY still covered and uses the original G-DHJH from its times at Thomas Cook UK.
Although the wet-lease of OM-IEX to Badr Airlines finished already in November, the aircraft was temporarily stored in Lasham, it returned to Bratislava on 4 February 2021 and it still retained the tail colours of the Sudanese carrier. Today it operated regular charter to Stockholm.
Cargo airlift for Jaguar/Landrover has been resumed this week. Apart from the old friends in the form of Jota Aviation, Ruby Star Airways, Vulkan Air and RVL Aviation, this Motor Sich Airlines AN-12 took part for the first time.
This "new" Saab 340 of RVL Aviation premiered today at Bratislava on a cargo flight from Birmingham, until recently it operated as ES-NSG in Loganair colours.
After a longer time AN-12 of Cavok Air showed up at Bratislava on a cargo flight to Birmingham, as usually, contrary to the most of the day, without sunshine...
Ruby Star Airways took part in the recent airlift for Jaguar/Landrover by only a single flight, the bigger was the pleasure to see the departure of its AN-12 EW-484TI back to Minsk in a beautiful sunny weather.
Finally on the fifth attempt the arrival of the converted freighter A321-200P2F of Titan Airways was in daylight, this time it arrived from Manchester.
Automotive cargo flights from Liverpool to Bratislava for Jaguar/Landrover continued over the weekend, although in less power. Unfortunately still rare A321-200P2F of Titan Airways G-DHJH visited 4x always in the darkness, at least this AN-12 of Meridian arrived in daylight, although without sun.
Bratislava enjoys in recent hours invasion of cargo flights with automotive cargo from the United Kingdom. Besides this Titan Airways B737-400F, which landed after several hours of delay only minutes before getting dark, also Titan Airways A321-200F, Meridian AN-12, Vulkan Air AN-26, Zimex Aviation ATR-72F and two Jota Aviation BAe146-300s showed up, unfortunately mostly in the darkness.
The last day of this year said farewell to us in Bratislava with nice weather and two charters with automotive cargo to Birmingham, this B737-300F of KlasJet, still wearing its former Bluebird Cargo colours, and AN-26 of Vulkan Air UR-CQE.
In a rainy morning this Boeing 737-300 of ALK Airlines left Bratislava today with tourists to Salalah in Oman (with a technical stop in Diyarbakir in Turkey).
In the pre-Christmas period several DHL flights to Bratislava have been operated by Boeing 767-200F of Star Air instead of the usual A300-600F, moreover RAF-Avia established a connection to Skopje with AN-26.
