One Embraer was in STN having a yearly check.. Should be out now. Another stuck in NCE after a vey severe lightening strike. No spare aircraft in the fleet at the moment so anything that takes an aircraft off the line impacts our operation at the moment.

BAladdy : Thanks for the info
RJ100 : travelling this Saturday am LCY-EDI , wanted to know if there would be a bite to eat onboard or if i should buy at LCY. It crossed my mind that as weekend travellers would more likely be Leisure than Business, breakfast would not be served (a la Virgin trains 1st class, no breakfast at the weekend)

Mad -W10/11 + S11 Timetable
According to the timetable on BA.COM it appears that the MAD service is being upgraded from a E70 to a E90 once the next E90 is delivered in Nov.
Does anyone know if the E90 will be weight restricted??
Personally I thought the E90 would be used to add capacity to the double daily service to CPH.
It also appears that BACF have started to work on there S11 timetable.
During S11: (Based on JUL/AUG timetable - No Doubt subject to Change)
Saturday EDI-LCY service dropped
New Saturday GLA-LCY flight dep LCY 09:30
Friday LCY-PMI flight departs LCY 06:40 but does not arrive back at LCY until 19:25. Flight appears to operate LCY-PMI-GLA-PMI-LCY.
Saturday ZRH-LCY flight retimed to depart 07:00 and arrive 07:40.
S11
I know that the timetable is likely to change between now and next summer.
BACF have hinted that they may announce more new routes. Has anyone heard if these new routes will be more leisure routes??
I think that the MAD route is one that could still be developed. Pax numbers would increase if they just added a Sunday evening MAD-LCY flight. I know of a number of pax who have wanted to use the LCY-MAD route to take a weekend break but have instead travelled LHR-MAD because they need to return on a Sunday night.

No surprise they want the big one to operate the MAD, especially with the IB codeshare in full swing. Also the E190 is not weight restricted on the MAD, unlike the E170 can be sometimes.
Nothing on the new route(s). It was mentioned a while ago they were looking at more leisure destinations. But I wouldn't put my money on it.
The question is; can the E190 do the 1050nm to HEL with a good payload all year round? It's only 200nm further than CPH and that's no issue. Add a codeshare with AY to the mix and who knows.
*Note - pure speculation on my part. It just seems BA is very Scandinavia focussed lately.*

Here's the Great Circle comparison: 513 nm vs 985 nm. Did you mean ARN instead of CPH?

So what is the liklihood of HEL from LCY? It doesn't strike me as being a prime business route. I would imagine a Berlin flight or similar would be higher up the list?

I believe Finnair looked at HEL-LCY on the E190 and whilst it works inbound to LCY it was very restricted outbound around the order of 40-50 pax I believe. So I would think its unlikely.
