BA LUT-FRA?
Greetings Ppruners.
According to Flightradar24 BA are running a regular LUT-FRA (BA3384) on an A300-600. Anyone know anything about this? It doesn't pop-up on LUT departures.
Thanks in advance

i suspect with most of the short haul and domestic ops scaled right back from today for the forseeable future there will be more use of the DHL network by BA and full use of the A300F/B757F DHL fleet. Yesterday a DHL A306F did an Arlanda-Luton LTN-Arlanda return flight.
Interestingly and i dont know who is booking these, European / Maleth are doing a package of A340-600 flights Bournemouth-JFK-Bournemouth the ex Virgin machines

Just goes to show that, while using airport codes in your posts saves lots of typing (well, 2 keystrokes in this case 
), it's a good idea to make sure you're using the right one to avoid confusion.

Was there any confusion? Really?
Anyway, in my youth I recall the Luton controllers using the nomenclature "Lima Uniform Tango", presumably referring to a beacon.

Infamous 'airmiss' as it was called back then. Light aircraft instructed to route via Luton overhead, pilot flew overhead the LUT (NDB) and came close to an inbound making a procedural approach onto, as it was back then RW26. This occurred during a rare outage of the AR15 radar. Nomenclature change as a result. Route via the Lima Uniform Tango, or via the Luton airport overhead or defined runway threshold. I digress......
