BA MINIBUS STORAGE

[BRISTOLRE]

A lot of the older BA 320s, 321s are now making their way to Madrid for presumably long term storage.
A318 G-EUNA presumably also still there.
The likes are leaving LGW, GLA & LHR from storage to MAD, a lot of these at the Gatwick based G-GATx A320s
Maybe storage costs cheaper and greater space available down there.

I wonder why they're going to Madrid rather than, for example, Teruel or some other 'ghost' airport ? Although Barajas is a sprawling airport, I can't imagine the storage costs are very low, even if you have impeccable connections there!

[BRISTOLRE]

I thought the same. Wonder if many more will head down that way UNLESS they are due heavy check at IB MX?
Saw this morning also that there are a handful of BA A380 due to enter long term storage in Teruel as well and depos from CHR.

Rumour mill also saying G-CIVW will be preserved at Dunsfold, due to go soon (I think 22nd Oct mentioned but not certain)

Dry climate - lots of space (perhaps no longer the case at Teruel), and the Spanish connection for potentially keeping the costs down - what's not to like?

GCIVW due into Dunsfold on Thu 22 Oct but no time posted on the website where I read it; thankfully the plans to obstruct the runway with unwanted houses are 'on indefinite hold'.

What's the latest with the BA 747 going into Dunsfold ? Nice day for it if it does!

It's airborne now on its way to Dunsfold as the BA9178

Yep caught a glimpse over Farnborough I tonl descending in and out of cloud . See it it's on the South News tonight.... was far away but a Queen of te Skies cannot be mistaken for others

looks like she did a fly past at Dunsfold at 1000 feet

and down..... there was a chopper G-IGGY nearby so poss air to air? Flight plan High Wycombe to Newquay. ...strange routing

[BRISTOLRE]

Major movements last few repositioning large numbers of A320, A321 to Madrid and Mallorca (PMI) for dry storage along with movement of A380s to MAD.
I suppose PMI is still dry and relatively warm this time of year lots of space to park multiple BA jets
