Interesting Movements 2021

Is the customs paperwork different for airfreight compared to truck and boat? Or is it that airfreight can get to destination without transiting through EU?

I assume EU paperwork will be the same no matter mode of transport - usual paperwork differences between air & sea eg airway bill v bill of lading

EU customs paperwork has changed significantly. Faisal Islam of the BBC put on Twitter that what was previously a 1 page export form for Scottish sea food going to the EU is now pages long and 26 individual points need to be met for the form to be accepted.

4 x Emirates flights in today, 3 777-300ER cargo flights and a 777-200LR on the normal flight

A6-ENZ landed 0755 after holding for over an hour due to snow clearance - still holding on taxiway at 0840 waiting on its stand being cleared

A6-EGZ just landed 0935

A6-ENX ETA circa 1325

That's a lot of metal, I take it a Skycargo 747F would be out of the question owing to lack of unloading equipment at GLA ?

SkyCargo only have 777Fs now too

I'm sure if Dnata wanted an unloader for 777Fs, they would get one.....

Indeed! Emirates is probably my favourite airline to dispatch!

I was never part of that team being the opposition team 787/359 . Mind you I did meet sneak once at the start of my shift. Hope all as good as it can be at GLA and hoping for better times and blue skies ahead. Missing my own job and my AY, KL, DY, QR, TOM
Fights and gates and folks I worked with.

Slightly unusual couple of movements today by CHC Helicopter Service Sikorsky S-92 G-WNSD, arriving from Aberdeen, then departing to Northern Ireland, where it operated for a while at low level and slow speed but didn't appear to land anywhere, then returning to GLA at 4000'. A short stop again, then off back to ABZ.

BA A320 G-EUUX positioning up from Gatwick

This aircraft hasn't flown a commercial service since 25 March - maintenance or further storage?
