VS9989 LHR-BGI

Hi All

See a special flight down to BGI today from LHR operated by an A346. I know VS57/58 have operated extra flights down to BGI over the festive period but anyone any ideas on this one?

Thanks

Maybe a special HMG (unlikely though) or one of the VS linked sports team charters?

Or simply a high load of VH packages - New Year is a very popular time for the Caribbean!

Be interested to know though ...

Very unusual to see an A346 at BGI...

A346's have operated to BGI before for Swan Hellenic Cruises. Not sure if this one though is a cruise charter or not.

It may well be a cruise charter as today has been a busy day at the Bridgetown port with some late departures from the port - the aircraft is returning to LHR as VS9990 so might be returning a group of passengers who have completed their cruise too.

G-VSHY flew LHR-HAV on Dec 18th as VS9987, so I assume this return BGI-LHR would fit in with the end of a 2 week cruise....
