BA Cityflyer

[canberra97]

Although Odyssey Airlines made a big deal out their intended plans of operating the C Series out of LCY to the east coast of the USA and perhaps Dubai I've never seen anything concerning the flying to the west coast of the USA as I think that would be really pushing the limits of the aircraft even with 80 passengers.

If you're going to Paris then I accept that which London airport you go from really matters.

If you're flying to the west cost of the US does saving a few mins on your trip within London really add up to so much in the big scheme of things? Is there not a risk that so many more things (like choice of flights / type of aircraft) could become more important?

Range from London City at fully payload CS100 2,200 NM

Range from Gatwick at fully payload CS300 3,300 NM

Anyone know what is the range of the E190SR's and E170's with a full payload?

BA CityFlyer celebrates 10 years in operation:

British Airways - A DECADE OF GROWTH FOR REGIONAL AIRLINE BUSINESS

And after 10 years of "London Airways" things are starting to go full circle again...

[Skipness One Echo]

BA CityFlyer, the wholly owned British Airways subsidiary, with its headquarters in Manchester, marks its 10th anniversary with good cause to celebrate – the number of customers using its services has more than quadrupled and aircraft numbers have doubled in the past 10 years.

Isn't this the same business that was a lot bigger ten years and one day ago when they offloaded all their non LCY regional ops to flybe. There were fleets of EMB-145s. Dash 8s, British Regional and Brymon crew, all flying under the banner of BA Connect, which brought BoB to the BA brand a decade before mainline (!)

if i remember rightly BOB was a trial even then just for a few months

Often the way, the word "cyclical" comes to mind.


"London Airways"? or "London North America Airways" if you prefer.

We obviously all know what regional airline means.

But members of the public reading that are going to be rather confused by an article that starts talking about regional airlines and then very quickly settles into talking about London!

Of course, I see why they've gone down the route they have. If Heathrow had a couple more runways I'm sure they would have tried a different route. Things being the way they are the most practical way for them to serve British regions would be with through Lingus...

Any flight details would be appreciated.

Cs100 C-GWYD FTV2 will be there for certification of LCY landing, so will probably have a random schedule. Swiss plan to start service to LCY 2nd Quarter 17 using CS100
It is still in its original brownish undercoat according to phots.
More details can be found by searching #cseries twitter or

or follow C-GWYD (or aircraft type BCS) from YMX Montreal on flight radar, flight takes about 6 hrs


IAG have denied any plans to purchase the CSeries

There is no question that if LHR had 2 more rwys and had had them for some time things would be very different.

It appears winter 17/18 flights are loaded for STN.

Amazing! I was the last BA(CON) Station Manager at BRS, and had to make everyone FOH redundant, as you say, 10 years ago. Now they're back! I wonder for how long? GB

Probably "back" in the same way the Spice Girls are back... back but not really back.
