Jota Aviation operating BA Cityflyer into LCY
When I come back into LCY on BA4463 from my ex-EU DUB positioning, I notice that my flight is noted as "Operated by Jota Aviation For Ba Cityflyer"
Not seen that name before - is it a new arrangement or have I just never noticed ?

It's a leased aircraft, a few of which are operating for BACF out of LCY this summer to cover maintenance etc. There was another thread on this this morning which gives a little bit of background and flavour of what you might expect.

One of the E170's has an ongoing tech issue. I was on a flight from AMS to LCY 2 weeks ago which as delayed 2 hours due to an tech issue whith on the E170's. Not to much a problem as I got to spend more time in the new Aspire Lounge at AMS, along with the AMS roof top walk!!!

Jota are a small outfit and as far as I'm aware this particular aircraft is SEN based. Maybe even the company I'm not sure off the top of my head.

Jota are SEN-based. The 146-200 must be a new acquisition for them as it doesn't appear on their website: http://www.jotagroup.com/fleetdatajotaaviation.php

Having them based at SEN brings back memories of flightline who operated as and when as well as contracted flying for BA Connect back in the day !

Further digging. This actually is an ex flightline example !
Former G-OZRH which no doubt operated on behalf of BA when she was previously SEN based for flightline !

BA operating a plane which is just about to turn 30
This Jota plane is turning up like a bad penny on BA route into LCY. BA give a few hours notice of their use of this plane by SMS and email saying very little about how they run their business.
By the way, it isn't 30 years old: it is stated to be 29.6 years old by planespottters.
Have a look at what is published as the history:
http://www.planespotters.net/Product...A-Aviation.php
Certainly not the E90 or E75 you paid for!
BA should not be behaving like this.

though i agree and sympathise that it's never good when one's experience isn't in line with what was expected, BA isn't selling you a particular type of a/c so you haven't really paid for an E190 nor E170 (BA doesnt have 75s/175s) but you paid for transport from A to B.
I am also not sure how else BA could have behaved - spare a/c aren't really an option and better to get there on a sub leased a/c than have flights cancelled in my view.
