Hi,
I maybe should have asked this question last week, but does anybody know why there were two British Airways 737s at Paris CDG on Sunday of last week?
As we were pulled up alongside the Air France A320 operating our flight to Heathrow, I noticed two of the things parked up next to us. Whilst I wasn’t able to catch the registration on one, the other was G-DOCX, identifiable by the red nose.
Since 737s are associated with Gatwick only and also the fact that the airline doesn’t fly from Gatwick to Paris, does anybody know what they were doing there? They were both heading somewhere as all doors were open and crew seemed to hang around on the aircraft steps.
All I can think is that for whatever reason, they were operating Heathrow flights?
Thanks! 🙂

The only reason I can think of is a charter of some description as I know British Airways do charter their aircraft on occasion. Searching data.flight24.com for G-DOCX’s whereabouts last weekend (specifically on Sunday 4th) has it doing the LGW-Marseille flight early morning then there is a massive gap where the website knows it was flying however can’t retrieve route info then late night it was logged returning from Cagliari to LGW. All very mysterious but judging by the rare gap that data.flight24 has for that frame (the only gaps in the last fortnight are that weekend) it doesn’t seem like a run of the mill BA flight.
