Airbus's replacing 737's

[flyer55]

Anybody in flight crew know if it is true that the Airbus's are going to replace the 737's at LGW permanently?

[gofer]

No the plan is to use trains instead !

Gatwick is a big place with many airlines - which one or ones are you talking about ? Then perhaps somebody can help try and answer your very fuzzy post.

[paulthornton]

Would that be Skytrains then?

If it's BA your talking about then no doubt that would be the case eventually and then the old clapped out 737's will be dumped on BACX . . . . .

couple of other threads running on this (BA new routes and what's happening at BACX)

I believe the easyJet A319s have already replaced their 737s at Gatwick :}

WOW GOFER, why don't you just shoot flyer for not being a bit more detailed, the others didn't seem to have a problem giving him a more humanistic answer. How Rude you sound!

Rumour has it mainline 737's will all be up in the regions by march.......

Well do you really think that our British rail is THAT reliable????:confused:

There are more and more Airbuses for Ezy now. I'm glad too much work to do in those Boeing cockpits lol :p

[fox_trot_oscar]

Indeed....17 of those A319s now!

You can't be talking about BA then as they have recently announced that the 73's will be serving those 4 new routes out of LGW from March 06.

So which 'mainline' do you refer to???

[Trislander]

And as far as I'm aware 'Mainline' is actually the long haul division of BA and that at LGW that you are referring to is a division known as 'Eurofleet'?

:confused:
