Comment
So I assumed wrong, this A124 isn't going to Istanbul like ADB3402, at least not yet.And yet, I persist : it or it's load will somehow end up in Turkey.
It does highlight an 'interesting' problem with hubs like Baku and Leipzig as well as 'sub'-hubs like Prestwick, Channon, Châteauroux etc : big bird A flies in with a load of kinetic gear which then is transferred to or waits for other machines to disperse it or fly it to its actual destination.
I would be surprised if it did not happen in Baku. Leipzig is still in the "maybe, probably" bucket.

Of course another perfectly reasonable explanation could be that UR-82007 is just stopping at its hub to have some minor technical issue fixed before it flies to Istanbul.
