Winter Holiday Departures - Birmingham Airport - Thomas Cook, Monarch, Thomson 787 A321 A320 (+ATC)

Three consecutive holiday airlines depart Birmingham Airport to three completely different destinations on a beautiful December Morning.

This was filmed on the 19th December 2014 when I went up to Birmingham International Airport (BHX/EGBB) to catch a rare Turkish A330 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzHRv...). This was filmed at around 11:45am during a very busy period that lasted around half an hour. First to depart behind an arriving Flybe was a Thomas Cook A321 - fairly rare (at the time) as it was replacing the normal B757. The Thomas Cook was departing as TCX51RD to Tenerife. Next was a Monarch A320; both it and the Thomson 787 lined up on the runway at the same time to save time and increase runway usage efficiency. The Monarch was departing to London Gatwick on a positioning flight as MON320P. Shortly after the Monarch got airbourne the Thomson 787 powered up and took off runway 33 as TOM814 to Bridgetown, Barbados.

I really like this spotting location, even more so now the runway extension has finished as you can get great shots of aircraft taxying along to S1. Also you'll be able to listen to Air Traffic Control (ATC) communications. I decided to add some fairly appealing subtitles - this takes a long time to edit so your support will be appreciated more than ever. Thanks guys, take it easy.

The day wouldn't have been the same without my good mate Will, check out his channel here for quality aviation videos from many airports including BHX: www.youtube.com/bristolcardifairport
