NOTES & ABBREVIATIONS etc

All times are quoted as ‘local’ time. As the source material is in UTC all times are converted before use. However, there is always the chance of being one hour out, no matter how hard I try and avoid mistakes, especially between March and October, the months of BST.

30/1357 shows that the aircraft stayed over midnight, departing on the date and time shown

f&t = from and to. Where the point of origin and destination are different, both locations are named separated by a - . Limited use of standard IATA airfield abbreviations eg BHX - Birmingham; EMA - East Midlands Airport; DTV - Durham Tees Valley; DSA - Doncaster Sheffield Airport; LBA - Leeds-Bradford Airport; and more occasional DUB Dublin; MAN Manchester; BRS Bristol; CEG Chester; NCL Newcastle, GLA Glasgow and SEN Southend.

G/A refers to an aircraft performing an approach and go-around only, but did not touch down. t&g is 'touch and go' or 'roller' only, not a full stop landing. fv = first visit to LJLA, ff first flight. 'local' is a flight starting and ending at Liverpool, not landing elsewhere, n/s night stop, c/s Radio call-sign/ICAO operator code.

The registrations of aircraft operating on call-signs, especially RAF aircraft on Go-Around are not always 100% accurate. During daylight where a code and direction of Go-Around are given, this means that the registration was confirmed by Mk.1 eyeball (well, usually a digital image!).

Where an aircraft operated on call-sign, this is noted by official IATA 2-, or more usually ICAO 3-letter abbreviation. If there is no call-sign, then the aircraft operated using the registration. Where there is just one call-sign, the same flight number/call-sign was used both in- and out- bound.

In the final column the operator is that translated from the call-sign designator, which in some cases is not the same as the registered owner. This is often the case for GMA Gama Aviation, FLJ Flexijet, ORT Ortac AOC Ltd and VCG Catreus AOC Ltd call-signs.

'Football related', 'team chtr', 'for the match' or similar comments are generally determined by the times and point of origin/destination and is informed guesswork, not absolute known fact. Very difficult to be certain which aircraft, especially biz-jets, bring fans and which are co-incidence!

Likewise 'freight i/b' or 'freight o/b' comment is an assumption based on aircraft type, point of origin/destination, flight numbers etc - only rarely is the direction freight is being carried, confirmed by eyeball.

The 'S', eg S14, refers to the apron stand that the biz-jet was parked on.

The source material does not name non-registered airfield sites, these are covered by the blanket term ‘private site’. Nor does it identify diverted flights or the reason for the diversion, however these can usually be worked out from other sources.

'WX' = literally 'weather out' conditions below minima visibility or above acceptable wind speed/direction, 'Dvt' = diverted in, 'chtr' = charter flight, Pax = passengers, Del = delivery, Arr = arrived, Dep = departed, pvt = private (location), n/s night stopped.

I do my best to check full type designations, however an occasional one may not be absolutely name and mark accurate. Spotted an error, typing slip, or have further details to add, do let me know by PM or place a post on this thread.

CREDIT & THANKS

Should any details be used and repeated elsewhere, due credit to 'LJLA and NWAN forum' is expected. This post should NEVER be 'copy and pasted' and repeated in full or in part elsewhere on the internet. Hyper-linking this thread onto other sites, again with due credit, or printing-out for personal use does not require specific permission, although I would like to know if it is hyper-linked in full to another site.

Thanks are due to the many NWAN members who contribute information and images on the JLA 'daily movements threads'. Especially members with user names (in no particular order): Beemer, Philglt, Evoant, 8miles27, Airbus A346, Wadoki, Robaero, Whittle, Barfleur, Blueaircraft 79, Optimum 1878, Andy H, G-PHIL, Vanguard, Ametyst, Dovermire, Stemai, Speedy, Bulldog, Lee and a fair number of others. Their information helps confirms and expands the bare-bones detail of the official record, making the monthly movements an accurate and complete summary of visiting aircraft activity.

Finally and very importantly, my very many thanks for Liverpool John Lennon Airport in permitting access to records to extract these visitor movements - so allowing our complete monthly records since 1956 to continue unbroken.

FIRST VISIT DATES FOR BOEING 737-MAX8 AIRCRAFT TO LIVERPOOL JLA.

NB: Only lists first visits upto and including 31st January 2022.

First visit by the new Boeing 737 variant was on 21st July 2021.
Only one visit not on a scheduled service, a Neos aircraft on a football charter.

AIRLINES & AIRLINERS - JANUARY 2022

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.

After the end of Christmas period, with the Omicron variant taking a grip right across Europe, entry requirements tightened considerably, and
what is one of the quietest months of the year for air travel became extremely quiet as airlines once again, faced with a lack of passengers cut
back frequencies drastically and suspended routes, with an expectation that bookings would recover for the start of the summer '22 season at
the end of March, to be further stimulated by a mid-April Easter.
Through November Ryanair offered 26 destinations from JLA, with Kosice resuming on 1st December and Sofia 18th December to make 28 over
the Christmas period. Over the weekend of 7th to 9th January Ryanair suspended 19 routes, leaving just 9 operating right through the final 3 weeks
of January, most at a reduced frequency.

Apart from the suspension of routes due to the rapid spread of the Omicron, there was no noted disruption by weather											
to Liverpool services.  											
Despite the restrictions imposed on travel, there were two extra Dublin services on Saturday 15th (details in main log)											
with times that clearly permitted a day-return.  Despite being a Saturday, football fans are unlikely to have been the cause											
as LFC v Brentford was the following day!  These extra flights are not included in summary of scheduled flights table above.

Probably due to the number of domestic services, plus the short season available for ski-holidays, EasyJet's response to the											
January Omicron peak was last drastic than that of Ryanair (although the cut back for winter at very end of October was more drastic).											
The difficulties facing passengers with Covid 'passports', testing and self-isolation did have a big effect on passengers travelling.											
											
Aircraft noted at JLA during January:

Just two alterations to anticipated schedule noted.  On 1st G-EZOI departed on EZY7263 to Grenoble at 1623, later returning											
on the EZY7264 at 0234 on the 2nd from Lyon, presumably due to an initial weather diversion.

WIZZAIR (WZZ/W6, WUK/W9)

										
Wizzair had suspended many routes during November.  Most routes operated across the Christmas/New Year period only to											
re-suspended 6th-9th January.  Confusingly Cluj Napoca and Vilnius, both not operated for some months operated over the											
Christmas period.  Indeed there were 8 Wizzair rotations operated on 25/12, Christmas Day - the only airline to do so.  											
Amazingly, against the trend, two new routes commenced for the Christmas period, only to be suspended in early January.											
Inaugural service to Tirana, Albania on 9th December, with that to Rome (previously postponed several times) on Saturday 18th Dec.											
											
Scheduled services during December:

PASSENGER CHARTER FLIGHTS

No public passenger charter flights identified as such during January 2022. However as the football season progresses, a number of football
team charters. Jota Aviation flew the majority of these using either it's RJ-85 or RJ-100. LFC flew down to London twice to face Chelsea away
and once to face Crystal Palace, while EFC flew off for an away game against Norwich. Jota flew Brighton, Arsenal and Brentford clubs into
JLA for away games at either Anfield or Goodison.
Blackburn used Eastern Airways flying to and from Cardiff using an ATR-72. No rugby club charters noted in January.

AD-HOC FREIGHT CHARTERS

Rather considerably less than during January '21. Just 4 aircraft can be identified as likely to be transporting ad-hoc freight during January 2022.
These being a Fly 7 Finland PC-12 OH-ZRH on Fri 7th, a Flightline Swearingen Metro EC-NIR on Wed 12th and Thu13th and RVL Aviation's recently
acquired Saab 340B G-RVVE on Wed 12th.

PPE FREIGHT CHARTERS FROM CHINA

These have been listed in the December and January movements as 'PPE freight' - the actual contents of the cartons are not known
but are thought to include 'personal protection equipment' including masks and barrier clothing, while much is thought to have been
personal Covid testing kits being distributed in their millions around Britain by HMG/NHS.

There were 13 flights into John Lennon in December, with a further 25 during January and more into February. The flights initially
used Birmingham, and few continued to do so. The freight was being carried in passenger aircraft, some with the seats still in place,
and unloaded by 'hand-balling' ie hard manual work by a team of unloaders working with handling agents Wynne Aviation.
JLA turn around was generally around 4 hours of physical effort.

The 3 airlines used during December and January flew from different locations in China via Russia for an en-route fuel stop.

											
Nordwind Airlines  NWS  N4   A.330-2, A.330-3, B.777-2	from Guangzhou (CAN), via St.Petersburg/Pulkovo (LED) or Moscow/Sheremetyevo (SVO)							
Redwings Airline   RWZ	WZ   B.777-2	                from  Shenzhen (SZX), via Moscow/Zhukovsky (ZIA)							
Ural Airlines	   SVR	U6   A.321	                from Wuhan Tianhe (WUH), via Novosibirsk (OVB) and Ekaterinburg (SVX)

Details of which aircraft were used are identified in the main log. As the flights may have finished in mid February as the Covid/Omicron 'spike'
diminishes, a review/summary of all the flights will be compiled for the February comments.

Geographically Shenzhen is immediately north of Hong Kong, although the airport is some distance away to the west of Hong Kong. Guangzhou is to
the north west of Hong Kong. Both serve the same industrial catchment, and are on the south coast of China. Wuhan is halfway between Hong Kong
and Beijing, sort of central in east China.

AIRLINER TRAINING

The re-incarnated Flybe appeared again in late January on training/route proving flights, with 6 appearances between Tues 25th and Fri 28th.
Details are in the main log. Details around which routes are to be operated are vague, but after so much use of JLA, one hopes to see operations from here.
Circuit bashing by airliners seems to be very much a thing of the past, however a RAF P-8A Poseidon on Monday
10th January was in the area for an hour and half, making 9 approaches (a mix of go-arounds and touch and goes). The aircraft involved was ZP802/02,
so was a different one to that on 26th May '21 ZP805/05 which also made multiple circuits then. Another non-airliner and non-military user of JLA
for approach and go-around familiarisation/training was a Coastguard Sikorsky S-92A out of Caernarfon on 3 occasions during the month.

DIVERSIONS

Not that many during January, with Ryanair twice during the month (1st from Dublin, 29th from Leeds) and Wizzair one (Fri 7th from DSA) - details are
in the main log.

FINALLY

My apologies for the delay in getting these December and January airlines and comments to you. Working out routes and frequencies with all the changes
taking place due to the onset of the more rapidly contagious Omicron variant of Covid has taken many more hours than the sorting and typing of the main
movement Logs! While I do feel it important for future researchers to know the severe effect lock-downs and travel restrictions had on air travel since
March 2020 I can find no quick and easy way to research and present it.

[ronturner]

I have just been reading this again and catching up on all those "PPE" so called movements. Its hard to imagine how much things have changed for all sorts of reasons. Thanks for your work.
