not content with getting rid of their regional operations, BA is now looking to get rid of some of its short haul routes and aircraft

For a long time now the plan for the BA shorthaul fleet has been to go all Airbus, with the gradual phase out of the 737’s and the eventual disposal of the 757’s and 767’s planned as the Airbus fleet grows. Where they go depends on who wants to take them.

As at most airlines, routes are forever being tweeked and changed depending on demand, yield, economy, poilitics, etc, etc, etc.

Maybe a chance of seeing 737’s back in Flybe colours along with the A319?

Flybe are doing so well with the current business model I can’t see a change from Q400 and EMB190 unless they have serious change of direction.
