Night Time Buzz
With Birmingham being my local airport, I never really had the chance to plane spot there in the evening (shocking, I know!); however on my way back from London Gatwick back home saw me make a stop to see the evening activity with some very interesting visitors.
For a while, chasing Ryanair's other subsidiaries colour schemes have been particularly challenging given their less ubiquitous nature, having said that they are scheduled occasionally but their appearance is never guaranteed!
This is certainly the case for Ryanair's Polish subsidiary, Buzz (formerly Ryanair Sun); the fleet largely consists of Ryanair liveried Boeing 737-800s, with even a small portion of their Boeing 737 MAX 8-200s also in the standard colours. The subsidiary dates back to 2018 with the rebranding to Buzz taking place in 2020, the name being revived following its closure in 2004 when Ryanair acquired the airline from KLM back in 2003.
Buzz currently operates from 12 bases across Eastern Europe, and it's no surprise that their Buzz-liveried Boeing 737 MAX 8-200s do make appearances in Birmingham, of which 8 carry such colours, certainly pleasing to the eye!
Almost guaranteed to appear, Ryanair (and Buzz) operates four-weekly flights between Birmingham and Kraków (FR1466/1465) on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday only; Ryanair's Irish-registered Boeing 737-800s operates the Tuesday and Wednesday flights, whilst Buzz operates the Monday and Friday flights with Boeing 737 MAX 8-200s, although it is not uncommon for a Polish-registered Boeing 737-800 to deputise on the occasional Friday.
Currently, Buzz operates 59 Boeing 737s, which includes 46 Boeing 737-800s and 13 Boeing 737 MAX 8-200s.
Romeo Zulu Delta is one of 13 Boeing 737 MAX 8-200s operated by Buzz, delivered new to the low-cost carrier on 10th November 2021 and she is powered by 2 CFM International CFM LEAP-1B27 engines.
Boeing 737-8-200 MAX SP-RZD slows on Runway 15 at Birmingham (BHX) after working FR1466 from Kraków-John Paul II (KRK).
