So when do BA Euroflyer begin ops on their own AOC?
G-GATL is still at LHR with 2 LHR-LGW flights showing on fr24 on the 11th. Plans seem to have changed.

Still a couple of aircraft to be allocated to flights yet though according to FR24.
However FR24 is not reliable at times. It still doesn't show G-GATL at Gatwick.
How it was meant to be written was ' it is either doing 4 flights on the 13th incorporating a return to Faro & a return to Amsterdam or just 1 return to ACE;. Given it is currently on its way back from Faro, then I am assuming the Amsterdam turn at 4pm today holds.

Yes. All flights are operating so 5th aircraft will operate the Arrecife. First time they have used 5 aircraft. If no Iberia Express arrives they will need all 6 tomorrow.

First Iberia Express aircraft operating on lease to BA Euroflyer today with 3 scheduled flights. Ba Euroflyer beginning to ramp up services now. Now 6 based own aircraft and 1 leased compared to 3 at the end of March. Daily departures increasing almost everyday too and should reach nearly 40 by peak summer. Generally good feedback so far.

Just wish we could have some more announcements about winter 2022/2023 in addition to those already released.

BA are to resume their Gatwick to Jersey service this summer, operating a daily service.

The flights, like other LGW domestics, will be operated by LHR aircraft and crew in a W rotation. This means Jersey will see 2 nightstopping aircraft this summer.

This will enable connections to/from long-haul LGW routes like Doha/Tampa/Cancun etc

The 3rd leased Iberia Express Airbus has this morning arrived at Gatwick for BA Euroflyer services. EC-LYM.
First service to Malaga this morning.
Some more G-GATx should also be on their way to Gatwick in the coming days.

I'm sure the answer is in this thread somewhere but, are they operating specific routes? Spain, I guess, to rotate the crew.

I’m on an Iberia Express aircraft tonight (which I am fine with and I’ve known about for ages thanks to this forum and Expertflyer). Interesting to see that BA are sending out apologetic emails and texts the night before, saying “due to operational issues the flight will be operated by Iberia Express and we apologise for any inconvenience caused to you”. There shouldn’t be any inconvenience but the night before is far too late to do anything about it if you’re not happy! As I said, I really don’t mind the change but I’ve had no other notification from BA about this and MMB still incorrectly says ‘operated by British Airways’.

G-GATS seems to have gone tech in Prague 16-18th, I think they're being run in gently at LHR after being extended storage with some TLC from wider Engineering cover available?

Will be interested in your thoughts about leg room, service etc. post-flight if you have a moment, as I have a few coming up.

Did MLA-LGW with I2 yesterday, leg room ok in row 1 (but not as much as BA), seats lack padding and don't recline (not that I use it).

Service was exemplary, perhaps better than some BA flights I have been on.

Band 4, so pre meal drinks and nuts, meal served and more drinks offered, then constant sweeps of the cabin to see if anyone needed anything.
