BA 134/135: New BOM service
Looks like BA is adding a new service to BOM leaving at 5.50 pm ex LHR on a 789 . There was a big void with 9W operations being shut with a weekly loss of 10k seats. Good to have more options for summer and world cup travel
Doesn't look like its a daily service yet.

Not really a new service, just going back up to double daily and not great timing either.
Would’ve been better if they hadn’t trashed the 139 service and return the super hi-J 744 to it rather than a 3 class 777.

This will be the third flight in addition to BA 139 and 199. Not daily though. Looks like it's starting in first week of June. Its been a while since I saw 747's on this route

BA are currently using a Air Belgium A343 to cover 787 flights and they have also been cancelling flights lately due to a shortage of 787’s. Will be interested to know what route will be loosing its 787 ops to free up aircraft for this new service.
