BD A320/1 (?) at PIK this afternoon
While waiting for a train from PIK around lunchtime today I caught sight of an old-livery BD A320 or A321 coming in to land on the south-westerly runway. Doing charter work, or touch-and-go circuits like BA do at PIK?

Oddly, there was nothing but the usual FR and W6 flights on the screens today, and now nothing showing up tomorrow... 
Flying GLA-BFS on Tuesday morning I may have seen the same bird parked at an off stand there before it shuttled over to PIK, wondered what it was doing.

I flew out of GLA Tuesday afternoon, and at that time there were 2 BD 320/321's off stand. One was in the *A livery, didn't notice if the other was in the old BD, but could well have been. Not something you see often.

A little in advance I know, but can you stop cancelling the BD587 Friday service next summer, pretty please, AIRBUS215 
.
The flight would routinely operate using the same aircraft as the inbound BD584, however, whenever the 587 service was cancelled this summer on a Friday (5 times), the 584 aircraft mysteriously disappeared off to Heraklion.

USD410k for 149 passenger one way and 139 back....
(I think I read somewhere that Air Italy operated this one..)
Although the negative PR associated may not be to good....

Current DFT restrictions prevent ANY uk carrier from operating to Baghdad.
