Cargo flight.

I'm surprised Emirates hasn't run the odd cargo flight, given how much of the stuff they shift generally.

I saw on the news the other day that west coast shellfish producers are starting to get orders in from abroad again. It wouldn’t be a great surprise if Emirates were liaising with these companies nearly daily to see when orders / delivery schedules reach a level where they can start running flights.

The 330s are due to go to MAN at some point, maybe related to that

Possibly but looking at some pics, MAN is quite full.

Reported elsewhere is possible fuel stop TUI A321 9H-VDB which is currently at Gander having arrived there from Santo Domingo c/s GTR3104.

If it leaves Gander tonight as planned it will be at GLA at an anti-social hour.

Airborne for about an hour out of Gander

Interesting outbound routing Chongqing (CKG) - Nur-Sultan (TSE) / Nur-Sultan (TSE) - Katowice (KTW) / Katowice (KTW) - Reykjavik (KEF) /
Reykjavik (KEF) - Gander (YQX) / Gander (YQX) - Santo Domingo (SDQ)

I'm guessing ship crew repatriation or PPE supplies
