Pilot said weather delays but this seems unlikely? BA live chat said crew sickness at LHR. Does anyone have the code for the delay please?
The only codes I see are for a passenger offload that took 1 hour 3 minutes, 15 minutes due to turn around coordination and 12 minutes due to issues with the CDM system that updates target off block times etc. given the flight is scheduled to depart at 2125 from Heathrow, an hours delay will but you right up against the jet ban for pushing back and getting to the runway in order to take off. There is then a note to state the service will be a night stop.
However, based on what the agent has mentioned re sickness, I’d also mention this.
Your delayed BA54 is a reactionary delay due to the late arrival of G-XLEH.
