Gatwick Airbus Fleet
Just wondering if someone in the know here could answer this for me.
I believe next year the Gatwick SH programme will require about 25 Airbus A320/A319 aircraft. So far I can only account for 21, 10 leased A320(all arriving in next few months) and the 11 ex-BMI A319 aircraft, all of which have now positioned to Gatwick with the ending of LHR Terminal 1 SH Flights at BA.
That leaves a need for another 4 aircraft. Will G-TTOB and G-TTOE be staying and supplemented by others as necessary? Or are there plans for 4 of the ex-BMI A320s to go to Gatwick next Summer?
I know that G-MEDK is being disposed of next March. At the moment A320 G-EUYC is also flying out of Gatwick in the new 168 CY configuration.
Finally any news of G-DBCF that was damaged at Alicante on 24th October?
BA source wasn't sure if it was a bird strike or ground damage.
As I said just being curious. Many thanks in advance for any information.
