British Airways/British Airways Cityflyer

[Coathanger16]

I don't see the weekend hours restrictions changing at all. There is less demand from LCY at weekends as well anyway due to it being a very business travel heavy airport.

I believe the idea is that the weekend slots would be used for leisure rather than business routes.

Thanks for the link. If that does happen - which I am sure LCY would like but which the residents and councils around there would strongly oppose - it certainly wouldn't be in place by next summer so there is no link between the suggestion above re summer MAN flights and this.

All I can add in support of the BA rumour is this screenshot:

Note the reference to British Airways (operated by Titan Airways). This is therefore not one of the current BA Cityflyer operation.

Only time will tell, however this is an indicator that possible moves are afoot.

Someone has posted elsewhere that Titan will be operating those routes on the 9th and 10th August only on behalf of Cityflyer.

Yes, looks like this is what is happening. A one off Titan operating for BA cityflyer on those dates, by 16 August it is back to BA cityflyer operating. It is not an indication of anything else.

If you look at all MAN-IBZ/AGP/PMI etc. flights on the oneworld website (or indeed any exLCY flights) they all show up as "British Airways Operated by BA Cityflyer". If you look at LCY-AMS for example it says "British Airways (Operated by BA Cityflyer)", that doesn't mean it is a BA mainline flight though.

What you have highlighted is not a BA mainline flight. It is a BA Cityflyer flight operated by Titan.

Could this be due to the Titan Airways change discussed above?

no. that BACF flight operated by Titan was very much a one off.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Thanks for the heads up. Manchester appears to have been lucky, in relation to the BHX/BRS cut backs, if it is only going to be losing what appears to be a single aircraft over a weekend (I've not looked at the full programme and so this is only a thought).

 

[Scottie Dog]

I decided it was time, after all the "grumpiness" on other forums to look at what CityFlyer may be offering from Manchester in Summer 2019.

Certain things have to be remember:

* Destinations are those flown to in S18
* Slot allocations have not yet been published for S19View attachment 10509
A couple of observations:

On a Friday 2 flights position in, from London City and Dublin, but where does the aircraft come from to operate the Palma at 1315hrs?
BA7313 departs to Ibiza on a Sunday but never comes back!

The programme is definitely "work in progress".

Once the Start of Season Report for S19 is released by ACL I'll let you have more information and thoughts.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Time for me to start to relook at the BACF programme for S19. As I understand it there will still be 4 aircraft overnighting on a Saturday.

British Airways are reducing LHR from 8 to 6 flights per day midweek, 4 on a Saturday and 5 on Sunday.

BA A319 G-EUPJ which has the new retro BEA livery operated it's first flight in that livery to Manchester today. Personally in think the livery looks fantastic.

 

[Jerry]

British Airways will be operating a 747 on the MAN-LHR shuttle on the 25th August.
