BA aircraft

Only thing I can see is that BA223 is a 747 and all three other BA flights from London to Washington are 777 or 767.

Maybe the terrorists want a big aircraft, but I suspect that all the 'chatter' is a diversion and they are really planning something else when everyone's backs are turned

Cejkovice - If you're right then that sheds a whole new light on things. Changing flight numbers or time of day wouldn't be the issue.

Strange that despite al Qaeda's avowed hatred of the USA, these recent American "intelligence" reports have only highlighted threats to NON-US air carriers

As i mentioned above, BA have cancelled tomorrows flight from LHR-RUH, however newspaper reports state that they have positioned an aircraft into RUH to operate the outbound RUH-LHR sector on Tuesday.

Strange

Shot one.
Continental had a flight canceled recently and so has AA I think. However, that isn't big news over here...

Cheers
