Think you mean the 18

How long have they done the 520 for?
The X22 as you said was withdrawn in July
The X43 diversion due to congestion is from when?

You really need to start considering what you are posting.!

I got the infromation from Google , not the official Northstar website and sometimes Google can be out of touch with updates , I did also check the Northstar site for validation and the website apparently refreshes their information every day and the information on the Northstar website matches with the google one , so the details I gave put on are about 2-3 months old , but is still valid.

520 been Northstar since 10th May 2026
X43 diversion since 28th July 2026

With the greatest respect I would therefore not post such out of date info.

The 520 has been operated for over 3 months and the X43 diversion will have just been for that one day 

People reading your posts will not know that the info you are posting is most likely out of date
