Goodbye Embraer E170s
The fleet rationalisation through Covid continues. The 6x E170s are moving to Envoy, leaving Cityflyer with a 22-strong all-E190 fleet.
Many here may see this as a positive for the CityFlyer product. E190s have substantially more legroom + the extra legroom seats in rows 1 & 2 to keep crewing requirements to 2 people, whereas the E170s are nose to tail at the tightest pitch.
I used to use LCY-ORY on a regular basis and have fond memories of each of them. Glad theyre not going to the scrap heap at 11-years old!

And FWIW, as I was sure that there had been confirmed information that the E170s had already ended their BA service, this was posted on 16 January 2021 on BA fleet: confirmed information on aircraft deliveries, refurbishment and retirements

Semi-related, I didnt want to start a new thread but I came across an E190 landed Biggin Hill BQH airport in Kent on Wednesday. In my time on FT and in the real world, I havent come across a BA aircraft at BQH before. We are not in normal times however.
I assume this was for a private charter, anyone know?
