Yes that's a surprise. For years pre covid JER was exclusively a LGW route. During the last 2 years it has been exclusively at LHR, and apparently worked very well for them. They recently confirmed the route would remain at LHR.

This one seems to be a daily rotation from LGW operated by BA mainline from LHR and not by the new LGW Euroflyer lot. The plane and crew will basically do LHR-JER-LGW-JER-LHR. This is very similar to the GLA and MAN routes from LGW which are done by BA mainline in the same way by a LHR based crew and plane.

Hello can anyone shed any light why BA2203 to Cancun is running late today as it landed early from its previous flight

Hello can anyone shed any light why BA2203 to Cancun is running late today as it landed early from its previous flight

it was only just 2 hours late? could be thousands of reasons why it was delayed - minor tech issue? slot issues? luggage off loaded due to missing passenger? flight crew taken ill, so waiting for a stand by member? handling issues? change of aircraft? guess only BA and the passengers might know the reason?

British Airways will look to replace their Gatwick 777s with 787-10s and will look to expand the base from 12 aircraft to 18.
