763s and even sometimes 762s!

737 will mean 732 or 733, or it will mean they don’t really now yet!

BMed use the 320 and the 321 on the extremes of its range to the Middle East. The 320 would not be able to cross the pond to Lima! BMed use the A320s on these services because BA previously operated the services themselves using 767s, and they made huge losses. The Airbus operation is profitable due to the equipment used.

Again, BA do serve many of the British colonies, but it would be difficult for them to serve them all as they do not all warrant a service economically. I don’t think you understand danairboy, that airlines are not there to look good and fly the way YOU think they should fly. They are there to make money. If they do not make money they stop flying. You have yet to grasp this simple point.

Madrid – Lima in an A320!!!!!! I don’t think so! A340 I would have thought, maybe one of the leased in 747s.

If BA can make a profitable service out of any of these routes then they will. As it stands their resources are more efficiently allocated to the services they are running. When Banjul, Freetown etc become economically viable then they will operate them.

EI-ORK was a 135ER now with Regional Air Lines in Morroco as CN-RLG

STN-PIK is 738 and 733 most often. I don’t believe 732s go on it particularly regularly.

Thoroughly unexciting, but I got a Dash 8 Q400 from BHD to LGW in November instead of a 146.
