I see on the BA cityflyer post they have ordered some A318
That "order" would seem to be news to BA and to Airbus!
Given that the person who posted this sensational rumour in the
Cabin crew forum is also under the impression that VLM is Dutch, I suspect that a little inaccuracy has crept in. BA mainline, BA cityflyer, A320s, A318s, what's the difference?
(Note: BA *could* decide to order A318s in the future. They have a pile of A319 options which could be converted to other types in the family. But they have not ordered A318s yet, and frankly if I were launching a new operation at LCY I'd want to be reasonably sure that it was going to work out and hit my 10% operating margin target before I signed up for a few hundred million $ worth of rather niche-y aircraft.)
