China Southern A332 First Departure from BHX (Birmingham Airport)
Today, the first flight from Beijing (PEK) to Birmingham (BHX) took place (CZ3001) and the aircraft landed at Birmingham Airport at 06:25.

I arrived at Birmingham airport at around 10:00 to film the departure at 12:00... But he flight was delayed for an hour due to a problem with the cargo bay door... So she ended up departing at around 13:00.

This wasn't good on her first flight as it put across a bad impression of the airport and the airline... Although the problem was neither(s) fault!

In the video, she taxied past OY-JTF which was not scheduled to arrive at BHX, but to fly straight to TPS ( Trapani Birgi Airport) so i'm not too sure why she came to Birmingham.

Hopefully we will see these flights continue into the future, as long as pax numbers stay high then i'm sure they will.
