Looking at BA's current program of flights from the airport utilising x 8 E90's at weekends, this would become almost impossible to mirror if as reported Cityflyer order the E190-E2/A220-100 as a replacement. Their wingspans are 5-6m wider than current E90 and therefore would have a detrimental effect on airfield capacity. SOU stands are configured for current E90 sizing so any replacement aircraft could cause big issues for future flying schedules and guess this is the conundrum the airport faces with lack of apron space!
