Flight Intl. BA to buy 321 instead of 318
Anyone else heard this?
I was flicking through FI in WHSmiths and saw an article mentioning that BA had cancelled 6 out of 12 confirmed A318's and all their 318 options but ordered 4 A321's.
Sounds good if true but I cannot see why they'd still want the remaining 6 A318's, especially as the engines will be incompatible with any other BA aircraft. They may as well add 6 A319's, might cost more initially but commonality would save over the lifetime, wouldn't it?
Two days later after not buying FI I'm left wondering if it was true????
