Manchester Airport Afternoon Heavy Operations 23/08/26 Part 2

Here’s part two of this topic : Manchester Airport Afternoon Heavy Operations 23/08/26

I know no one asked for part two but here you go.

Enjoy.

To start part 2 off, we have this Indigo operated by Norse Airways B787-9 off to Mumbai.

Next we have this TUI B788 from Mallorca if I remembered correctly.

Pegasus A321NEO off to Istanbul. I’d love to have this livery in the simulator as well.

Hainan Airlines A330 bound for Beijing.

Not a great picture but here’s a Virgin Atlantic A350-1000 off to Orlando.

Saudia B787-9 from Jeddah.

Another A350-1000 this time in the Qatari livery from Doha.

Although not a heavy, a cool and rare plane and livery to find these days. I had no idea that Air Algerie flew to Manchester. It’s my first time seeing this livery and this model of the B737 (the -700 variant).

Not a great picture as it was at the very end of the runway, but here’s an unfortunately rare sight here at Manchester, the B777-300ER and in Cathay Pacific colours off to Hong Kong.

One of my favourite A321NEO liveries, the Jet2 one. I forgot where this arrived from.

Since the limit is 10, I’ll have to conclude this topic. I’ll have to make one more to show the last of my photos which will include the A380 departure (I thought I could fit it into this one). Part 3 will hopefully have the departures that occurred on 23L. Thanks for viewing.

Very cool spots, @AviatorVJ !

They have some kinda random routes. Like Algiers → Rotterdam and Algiers → Lyon. Makes you wonder where the demand is coming from lol.

i mean, not a lot of these are random, given that algeria has one of the largest diaspora populations in france

btw lovely photos @AviatorVJ !

lovely photos! how’s the bridge camera experience? never actually seen someone use one irl before.

Thank you.

I’m sorry but please may you elaborate? I’m not sure what you mean.

just a camera that has a dslr body shape but a non-interchangeable lens like the one you use

Oh right. Yeah it’s great for me as it isn’t heavy or anything. Quality is pretty good for me as I haven’t edited any of the photos. I’d highly suggest getting this. Battery life is a problem but that’s probably because it’s around 10 years old.
