  • Curiosity: SQ8152

    Dear SQTalkers,

    Hello from Rome!

    Just a curiosity... anyone know why SQ8152 from SIN-AMS landed in FCO this morning? It seems to have diverted, flying to Rome instead of the usual route over Greece compared to the other flights this past week.

    It’s intended destination has always been Rome.
    Chartered flight for G20 summit.

      SQ8152

      Why does FR24 show destination for this flight to be AMS when it records the flight landing in FCO? Was it a programming issue?

        FR24 doesn't actually know where an aircraft is going as such (e.g. from a filed flight plan). It ties the flight number to published schedule data or, for non-scheduled flights like this, it assumes the routing will be the same as the last time the flight operated under the same number (which in this case was for Sun/Mon cargo-only flights to AMS).

        Because the same flight number was used for this service, FR24 just assumed it was going to AMS, but it never was. As mentioned - charter flight taking PM Lee and his entourage to the G20 summit in Italy.
