What will happen with the second BA A318?

Post by quixoticguide »

They only need one A318 for the LCY-SNN-JFK

Currently G-EUNB is in LHR and G-EUNA is operating BA1/2

For the moment, it looks like they're swapping planes every couple of week, so I guess that this make sense for now, and even if they only have one of those, what happens to that flight if the only plane capable of doing it is AOG?

G-EUNB is currently in Cambridge. The aircraft will shortly be joining the fleet of Titan Airways to be based at Stansted.

I don't get it.
If EUNA gets AOG, how will they operate the flight?

Rumour says the route won't be flown that much longer, sadly.
I don't know whether those rumours are true or not, but where there's smoke...

Confirmed: Titan Airways to lease one A318, serial 4039, from British Airways on 30 May 2017, with option to buy after two years. Aircraft will be used for (luxury) charters and possible return to London City. Also, the decision is part of a long-term wider strategy to move to an all Airbus fleet.
