                                End of the movements for June 2020.

A month that witnessed the UK gradually being released in steps from 'lock-down'. As a result Wizzair, and tentatively Ryanair and EasyJet recommence scheduled services on peak routes. Lots of military activity too, with unusually a couple of 'touch and goes', rather than go-arounds.

AIRLINES & AIRLINERS - JUNE 2020

All aircraft used on scheduled services during the month are covered in this section.
A * shows an aircraft based at LJLA overnight while used on scheduled flights.
The lists include airliners on diversion, training or positioning in addition to use on scheduled services.


RYANAIR FR/RYR

EI-DCX	EI-DYA	EI-EBC	EI-EFJ	EI-EKM	EI-EKV	EI-EMD	EI-ENI	EI-ENJ	EI-EPA				
EI-GXI		11 different B.737-800s were at Liverpool during June.

Initially 3, then from 6th, 4 stored aircraft, occasionally flown and rotated. From 24th includes 'non-based' aircraft on the re-introduced Alicante and Malaga flights, which swopped at JLA with the stored ones, so all the above carried passengers in the final week of the month.


Initial re-introduction of scheduled flights during June:
From 21/6 - Alicante, twice a week (Sunday & Wednesday), using non-based aircraft, EI-EBC operated the first service. From 22/6 - Malaga, twice a week (Friday and Monday), using non-based aircraft, EI-ENJ operated the first service.


EASYJET U2/EZY

G-EZAC	G-EZAI	G-EZAN	G-EZAU	G-EZAV	G-EZAX	G-EZBD	G-EZDJ	G-EZEN	G-EZEY				
G-EZII	G-EZIO	OE-LQS	OE-LQX		14 x A.319s								
G-EZGY	G-EZOF	G-EZTM	G-EGUA	G-EZUL+	G-EZUN+	G-EZUP+	G-EZUS+	G-EZWP	G-EZWY				
G-EZWZ	G-UZHO	OE-IJF	OE-IVW	OE-IZT		14 x A.320, incl 1 x A.320neo

The '+' shows aircraft used on the first two weeks of the Belfast schedule. All the others stored on a rotating basis. Although G-EZAI, G-EZDJ
G-EZEN and G-EZEY have been here since the end of March.


Initial re-introduction of scheduled flights during June: From Monday 15/6 - Belfast, daily x7, single flight per day, times varied. Used a Belfast based A.320 aircraft. G-EZUL on the first service.


LOGANAIR LM/LOG

G-FBXA	ATR-72 (fv on 8th)	ATR-72, all white									
G-LMRA (fv 19th)  G-LMRB (fv 1st)  G-LMRC (fv 29th)	all ATR-42, all in full Loganair tartan tail scheme					
G-SAJR	EMB-135												
G-SAJF	G-SAJG	G-SAJI	G-SAJO	G-SAJS	EMB-145s

Of these all the ATR-42/72s were first visits to Liverpool.
Again, absolutely no disruption to the schedule, which continued at twice daily Monday-Friday, none on Saturday and one Sunday afternoon. Access to these flights was limited by the Manx Government's 'sealed borders' policy, and passengers were mostly attending hospital treatment in Liverpool. The CAA show only 538 passengers, or 11 per flight as a result, so plenty of space to socially distance.


BLUE AIR 0B/BMS

Look set to re-start scheduled services in July

WIZZAIR W6/WZZ

HA-LPLv	HA-LPUb	HA-LWAb	HA-LWDb	HA-LWGb	HA-LWRb	HA-LYMb	HA-LYRv	HA-LYTv	all A.320s				
HA-LVHb		A.321neo - first visit on 16th		b - Budapest flights, v- Varna flights.

Initial re-introduction of scheduled flights during June:
Budapest running at twice weekly (Tuesday and Saturday) since 16/5 Varna from Thursday 4th, running twice weekly (Thursday and Sunday). All flights without disruption to schedule.[/pre]


RAVENAIR RVR

Again, throughout the good weather of June, the P.68s were out on survey work all around Britain. Just one visit to the Isle of Man was noted, with G-OBSR on 1st June.

WOODGATE AVIATION CWY

Woodgate continued to use their larger Beech King Air aircraft on the Isle of Man medical contract service. Many more flights than during May as the Liverpool Hospitals recommenced routine but vital treatment. More than two rotations in a single day is rare, so 4 rotations was notable on Thursday 18th!


PREMIERSHIP FOOTBALL

The curtailed close to the 2019/2020 season which had ceased on 'lock-down' in mid March got underway again 'behind closed doors' in mid June. The EFC v LFC derby which had been scheduled for 14th March was played on 21st June. With coach companies struggling to meet new government social distancing regulation, hotels and restaurants mostly still shut, the Premiership clubs had to some quick thinking to get to away games. The rule regarding being close to the ground 24 hours before the match was relaxed, which helped. Even so, as noted in the 'additional information' columns even flying home of matches was made difficult due to many airports still operating very limited hours. So Arsenal FC, after a Manchester game had to travel to John Lennon to get their charter home as Manchester Airport was closed at 2100 hours (although would return to 24 hour working a few days later). Everton flew out of Liverpool to Norwich - but that evening their charter had to fly home from Stansted as Norwich Airport had closed for the night. Crystal Palace flew into Liverpool, but returned to London after the evening game in a fleet of 20 'people carriers' so as to meet the League's socially distancing regulations. I'm pleased to report that although Liverpool John Lennon was also closed at night, they were flexible enough to remain open for Arsenal to depart on Wednesday 17th and for Everton to travel home by air on 24th. Aircraft details for charters as always are in the main 'Log' section.
