2024 Trips


Wednesday 23 October 2024

MAN 22nd October 2024 - Royal Air Maroc B737-800 CN-RGV

 Arriving in the last of the day's sunshine, Royal Air Maroc B737-800 CN-RGV wears the special 60th Anniversary scheme.


Friday 18 October 2024

MAN 18th October 2024 - SkyUp B737-700 UR-SQE

 Arriving mid-morning on its first visit and operating for Arkia on their new 2 x per week Tel Aviv to MAN service, SkyUp B737-700 UR-SQE wears this superb Shakhtar Donetsk Football Club scheme. As is usually the case with anything this nice, the sun decided to disappear at the worst moment!!



MAN 18th October 2024 - Air Peace B777-200 5N-BVE

 A very big surprise this morning, Air Peace B777-200 5N-BVE made its first visit to Manchester having diverted in from a foggy London Gatwick.


MAN 9th October 2024 - Central Airlines / DHL B777-200F G-DHMA

 Having visited the STS hangar for a maintenance visit, DHL B777-200F G-DHMA appeared now wearing Central Airlines titles and logos prior to delivery to China (to become B-226Y)

Friday 11 October 2024

MAN 11th October 2024 - Saudia B787-9 HZ-ARB

 Making its first visit since acquiring the new special "National Day" scheme, Saudia B787-9 HZ-ARB looks great despite the sun doing its best to try and ruin the arrival just after midday!


MAN 11th October 2024 - Sun Express B737-800 TC-SPE

 Arriving on 23R just after midday and wearing their great looking "Paw Patrol" special scheme, Sun Express B737-800 TC-SPE.


Sunday 22 September 2024

MAN 22nd September 2024 - Etihad "Warner Brothers" B787-10 A6-BMA

 Just landed on 05R before daybreak on a very dark and wet morning, Etihad's B787-10 A6-BMA sporting the special "Warner Brothers" special scheme. The starboard side of this aircraft is pretty difficult to catch here at MAN so 05 ops present the best chance, sadly this morning wasn't great though!



Monday 16 September 2024

MAN 15th September 2024 - Royal Air Maroc B737-800 CN-RGJ

 Just arrived on runway 23R early evening in some pretty awful late summer weather, Royal Air Maroc B737-800 CN-RGJ wears the "Oneworld" colour scheme.
