The British Airways fleet: CONFIRMED aircraft deliveries, retrofits, and retirements
There is a sister thread which covers more general discussion including speculative ideas, linked below:
BA fleet developments: unconfirmed updates, speculation, and general discussion
In the past few years BA has had a large fleet renewal programme. The new aircraft enabled BA to retire the Boeing 737, 747, 767 and 777-200 (non-ER) fleets. Retirement of the older A319 and A320 aircraft is in progress. The A318 fleet has been retired without replacement. At BACF the E170 has been retired in favour of the E190.

Retirements
With all the new arrivals there are also some much loved/hated (*delete as applicable) older aircraft heading for retirement. Up until 2015 most retirements went to Victorville (VCV) in California for storage and disassembly. From 2015 until mid 2025 most ex-BA planes were sent to St Athan (DGX) in Wales for disassembly with some 747s sent to Kemble (GBA) in England. Since then all aircraft have been sent to Kemble.

All eleven shorthaul A321ceo aircraft have been reconfigured from CY205 to CY218. These feature Pinnacle seats throughout and still have tables in CE (unlike the A321neo aircraft), although they no longer feature overhead screens.

Retirements
With all the new arrivals there are also some much loved/hated (*delete as applicable) older aircraft heading for retirement. Up until 2015 most retirements went to Victorville (VCV) in California for storage and disassembly. From 2015 until mid 2025 most ex-BA planes were sent to St Athan (DGX) in Wales for disassembly with some 747s sent to Kemble (GBA) in England. Since then all aircraft have been sent to Kemble.

With the new A320/1neo's coming in, I can't help but wonder when the first classic A320 will be leaving?
The eldest is not too much different age wise from the recently departed A319's. And I'm assuming the cycles are around the same too, having been used on similar routes around Europe.
Of course, a few have gone to Gatwick already, but still, the first retirement must only be a couple of years away at most.

I suspect that 36 includes those transferred to the BA Euroflyer AOC. Scrapped directly after BA service would be the ten G-BUS* machines then G-MIDS/T/Y/X.

But G-EUUA dates from 2001 (I remember it new, they had changed the tail logo), so we're nearly there.....

Not a single new build BA ordered A320-232 has been retired. Retirals have all been ex BMED, BMI or from the 1980s BCAL order. The 1st A320 BA ordered in their own right was from G-EUUA, and they do look after their own purchases.

I think it will be a while yet. As NEOs are delivered, there are further A319s to be retired together with the GATx subfleet at LGW, most of which are older than EUUA.

Yet, each of these elderly Airbuses (319, 320 or 321) retained has had to be given quite detailed, costly and time-intensive checks - often overseas. BA must wish it had ordered more 320/321 neos more expeditiously.
The 2026 fleet plans show new aircraft arriving at a very pedestrian rate and relief from Vueling cascaded aircraft consequential to 737max still looks some time off.
You reap what you sow and this is the consequence of IAG policy 3-4 years ago with instigators of such a policy long gone!

ISTR after the last ten A320ceos were delivered, the ones with winglets, BA announced that they would be added to earlier A320s. So, yes, they knew that they would be around for quite a while longer! Strange that the retrofitting of the winglets didnt happen after all.
