Fleet status updated across the board with current locations and status.
There are a few of the A320CEO and A319 fleet which have had a few days under going maintenance at LHR, but they are showing on flight radar as operating flights in the next 2 days again, so I've left them under active status G-GATR is due back into service tomorrow, so I've placed that under the active list G-GATU appears to be the problem child of the fleet with it back under cover at LGW receiving attention G-EUYY appears to have headed out to Warsaw on May 14th and not made it back yet, so we'll keep an eye on that The LCY fleet continues to rotate with 3 now being the stored number and 20 in service, although G-LCYX seems to be the unloved Cityflyer aircraft having gone to Norwich on Jan 11th and still not returned! Finally, if people wish to see the wet-leased fleet added to the Wiki (from Iberia Express / Finnair etc.) let me know and we can add assuming they don't swap out the aircraft too often (which would make tracking it a nightmare) Pilot37 |

EC-LYM is now also operating at LGW.
That means 5 I2 aircraft are down at LGW. |
Reports on twitter this morning from usually reliable sources that the A321ceo aircraft begin returning to London tomorrow.
Initially to be used from Terminal 5 on domestics then moving to Terminal 3. In service date said to be May 25th for the first aircraft. |

G-EUXD is alive on FR24 as TEST1 at the moment. Sounds like they might finally be coming back indeed.
|
G-EUXI is due to arrive back into LHR tomorrow evening (20th) at around 8pm at BA9250P
|
An Airbus A321 is supposed to go from LHR-EDI as BA1456 on the 25th May. This seems to be the first flight back,
|
Hope someone at BA has some shake n vac for the must on those A321s.

G-EUXI has just departed MAD.
|
First A321CEO service in 2 years will op BA1452 today (22 May) to EDI and back and BA1474 to GLA and back. Operated by G-EUXI.
|
G-EUXI is taxiing to it's gate (from maintenance, I suppose?) for it's first commercial flight in 2 years.
Edit: Seems that EUXI will now fly BA1454 for it's first flight, as BA1452 has been allocated G-TTNR, an A320neo. Edit #2: G-EUXI has finally begun her first run up to Edinburgh, as BA1454. Only 2 minutes late. |
G-EUXL is positioning MAD-LHR tomorrow (24th MAY) as BA9125P and will arrive into LHR sometime in the afternoon.
I’ve noticed that EUXI has only done domestics and is only down to do domestics.. is there any reason for this does anyone know? |

G-STBJ has headed to CWL (no idea if just for maintenance or for CS fit out) and G-VIIR heads back to LGW later this afternoon.
G-EUXD was suppose to come back to LHR today, guessing this isn't happening now? Pilot37 |
A busy day ahead for repositioning flights
G-XLEC returns from Madrid as BA9173 G-EUXL returns from Madrid as BA9251 G-YMMT returns from Cardiff with the new CS interior as BA9177 I know G-XLEH was due to come back from Madrid as well, but currently I don’t see a flight plan for that and I don’t see a B777 heading down to CWL to take YMMT’s place, so perhaps G-STBG and G-STBJ are now receiving B77W upgrade status (we can only hope)!

Why do all the 380s go all the way to Manila for servicing? I’m going to guess the answer is “because it’s the cheapest option”?

A rough figure I was given at my organisation is that it’s $70 cheaper per man hour in a similar Far East location to do maintenance. When you consider that a D check is generally between 30,000-50,000 man hours, the saving is quite significant, even with a couple of long empty positioning flights.

Does anyone have any idea when G-GATP and G-MIDX will leave Madrid? The former has not had a flight test since February whilst the latter had 2 test flights earlier this month.
I believe these two aircraft will eventually return to Gatwick for the Summer months. That will take the BA fleet there to 15 which plus the IBERIA Express aircraft should be sufficient for the summer schedule. Both of these aircraft operated at Gatwick pre-Covid and they are the last examples in the G-GATx and G-MIDx series' to return. Perhaps I am assuming too much, but would be interesting to know! :) |
Bit of a coincidence regarding my earlier post.
G-MIDX appears to be having a test flight from Madrid airport today. Perhaps it is returning home soon. |
G-ZBJC will position back to LHR from CWL tomorrow morning.
|
G-EUXM appeared on the radar today as "BA12345"
This could suggest another A321 coming out of storage soon enough! |
As did EUXG )
|
A few updates for Monday morning:
G-XLEB is due to return to MAD storage this afternoon (sadly) - this has now been cancelled again and XLEB is off to Frankfurt instead on a cargo run! G-YMMD is due to return to LGW after a few days maintenance at LHR, but G-YMMR isn't coming the other direction just yet! G-MEDK is due up from Gatwick this afternoon after diverting their last night G-GATM is also due up to LHR, but I would guess that is for maintenance as G-GATH had a quick 24hrs at LHR at the end of last week for maintenance Pilot37 |
G-GATN Gatwick hasn't flown for several days and had a ground test I think yesterday.
Is BA Gatwick Maintenance also covering the A320 fleet? Seems strange to send aircraft to LHR for just 24hours maintenance, although of course it could be to do with capacity and expertise at either base. I also believe they have the contract to maintain Vueling aircraft at Gatwick. |
The 3rd and 4th A321 leased to be leased from Finnair are arriving today prior to beginning to operate for BA at T3.
OH-LZS - will be the first to arrive as AY1335 from HEL just after 15:00. OH-LZO - is expected to land a few hours later at 20:40 operating AY1339 They are joining OH-LZP and OH-LZT the 2 A321 already operating out of T3 |

Maybe it's a question for another thread but do crew deadhead from HEL to operate these? It must be costing BA a fortune!
This is another gift of Alex "cost cutting is in our DNA" Cruz and Willie "Show me the effin' money" Walsh. This, and the need of re-hiring people after having given them severance and many more strokes of genius from those two. |

G-VIIT landed at LHR this morning (presumably for maintenance), so that explains G-YMMR's continued usage at LGW G-VIIL is due down to Cardiff this afternoon for maintenance, with no plane currently flagged to come back G-GATM was due to return to Gatwick yesterday but had its flight cancelled, so a bigger issue must have cropped up G-ZBKP is due to head to Dublin this afternoon as BA9171, I think that is usually for repainting? (any info welcome!) G-XLEB is once again due to head back to Madrid as BA9174 this afternoon for storage Pilot37 |

With ISB suspended soon (as per other threads) I expect this will give a little relief to the LGW LH fleet, |
IDX coming back today from Madrid. There should have been a A321 tomorrow too but that looks to have been binned.
IIX LGW-LHR tommorrow. |
