BA LCY-SOU
Just looked out of my window and spotted a BA E190 (G-LCYO) on final approach into SOU, coming in from LCY.
Wondered if I had fallen asleep and woken up to find out that it was May already and the new routes had started 😃 sadly not...

On Tuesday/Wednesday this week, both Southampton and Brighton used Jota Aviation G-JOTS. Southampton played Man Utd so routed SOU-MAN-LGW and Brighton played Liverpool the following day so routed LGW-LPL-LGW.
Im not sure how often BA Cityflyer pick up these charters but nevertheless, it’s something interesting. Premier League teams often prefer to fly over distances exceeding 2 hours on the road but it’s even more important now as so many hotels are closed and you want to minimise the contact players and support staff have with the outside world to try and protect the bubbles.

March will see a lot of flying on behalf of the Welsh rugby team.

G-LCYO did the honours having been on the ground at LCY since before Christmas. It actually seems to be on behalf of Jota Aviation (operated using their call sign) who of course were often found filing in for BA, another amusing oddity of the COVID world !
