British Airways A318
« on: September 06, 2009, 10:26:37 AM »
BA recently took delivery of an Airbus A318 to be used on the London city to New York route, the aircraft has been seen operating from runway 27 on test flights a week after delivery.  Has anybody managed to log this on the RB and if so did it have ADS-B.

The aircraft will make a technical stop on route to NY for fuel on the outbound leg and non-stop on the return flight, the aircraft is fitted out for 32 passengers in business class.

BA have also received the first of the Embraer 170 for use under the BA Cityflyer, this is also to operate from London City, I guess these will not have ADS-B

Got G-EUNA at around 1 pm today. Wasn't at PC at time but MyLog confirms ADS-B.

Thanks for confirming ADS-B,  what kind of damage did the Embraer receive on its delivery flight. will it delay entry  into service?

It had a bird strike to the nose cone from online reports. Nothing serious.
