    Maybe charter or one off flight, would be great to see 747s at CMB again if it's a regular flight, Only Terra Avia operates its 747s here with a few exceptions here and there, this being one of them.
    ER-BAR is descending above CMB. It's doing return leg NBO-JOH-CMB as FP6984. Wondering what is the final destination?

    • EK B772LR is on its way to CMB as EK648. Usually EK use B773ER on the CMB route. Really surprising move! Notsure what made EK to use B772LR this time. Any idea?

      • HiFly Malta A343 has been flying via CMB since last week. Rego : 9H-TQY. Could this be refuelling stop?
        By looking at below info, 9H-TQY was positioned from BYJ to PER via CMB on the 04/5 Nov. Operated may be charter from PER-SSH via CMB vv on the 06/7/9 Nov. Now I see 9H-EQY departed from PER and on its way to CMB. I believe it's being positioned to BYJ via CMB. Please correct me if i am wrong.

        From my understanding "P" in flight number indicates "Positioning flight".

                  ER-BAR visited CMB on the 14th of November as well. Continued to NBO from CMB. Maybe this is a regular flight to CMB?

                      I see ER-BAR is operating kind of non-fixed operation via CMB. I see day of operation/route differ each time.

                      09/10-Nov - Routing : MFO-CMB-NBO-JOH-CMB-BKK-MFO

                      14/15-Nov - Routing : MFO-CMB-NBO-CMB-PNH. (Hoping the final destination is MFO)

                          I think it is a charter flight? Last week I saw an A319NEO business jet coming in for CMB, departing from singapore, aircraft then was on ground for maybe two or three hours before finally flying towards north-west.
