BA have announced the replacement of 14 737's with airbus 319's. Of course, these are old LHR aircraft, not new ones, the new airbus's go to LHR. This opens up a can of worms at LGW as there will, for some time, be a dual fleet operating alongside each other. Is it going to be a dual-base airbus fleet - which asks, bid-line or carmen? And presumably that would also mean all the few nightstops LGW has would have to be given to tours on the airbus?
