Airplane Art – British Airways Airbus A318 at London City Airport

02/08/2020 by Kevincm

It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more Airplane Art.

This week, we have a British Airways Airbus A318 as its passengers board for the London City to New York JFK via Shannon flight on a winter morning.

British Airways operated two Airbus A318 aircraft during the time the airline operated the London City Airport – New York-JFK route (G-EUNA and G-EUNB). Both aircraft entered the fleet in 2009 (NA joining in August 2009, NB joining in September 2009).

The airline operated these aircraft in an all-business class 32 seat configuration.

Both aircraft served the airline until April 2017, when the BA London City – New York route was reduced to one flight per day.

The aircraft above – G-EUNB – was taken by leasing specialist Titan Airways in July 2017 – maintaining its 32 seat all-business class cabin and offering some variations (such as 30 seat layout with  “Club four” layout, adding a table onto the aircraft.

G-EUNA remained with the British Airways fleet to operate the route. The aircraft was  parked in March 2020 due to a drop in traffic.

This week, IAG announced that the A318 was due to exit the fleet – bringing this route to an end.

If you want, I’ve documented my BA1/2/3/4 experiences below
