The operating aircraft has just left Florence 5hrs late on it's way back to LCY. In which case, 3:35 is very optimistic for the delay, unless they can shuffle the fleet.

19th

BA782 ARN retuned to stand with a nosewheel steering fault - TECY

20th

BA816 CPH TECY DUE TO BCA AOG VCE R WING LEAK

BA217 IAD DAMN - VIIK/STBA/YMME all unserviceable. VIIK bird strike damage inspection needed at LHR, tech at home base. STBA tech in JNB, returns to LHR today. YMME is in maintenance at LHR. Worthy of challenging due to lack of spare airframe s made available by BA at their home base to cope with one aircraft suffering a bird strike.

BA1476 GLA TECY - multiple sh fleet unserviceable

BA195 IAH TECY - ZBKI/ZBJI/ZBJG all unserviceable

BA1448 EDI OPEY

BA1340 JER TECY - multiple sh fleet all unserviceable

The code for this is TECY.

The aircraft went tech in FLR with an Oxygen issue. No engine ring presence in FLR so there was a significant wait. The delay for the rerun from FLR is down to technical defects, the rest is reactionary for the majorly of the delay. Note there is no ATC involvement in any of the delay codes to that aircraft so any push back from BA staying Air Traffic Restriction would be a lie.

Too late to find out now so worthy of submitting a claim in any case. I suspect it would have carried the code FCRY as Euroflyer significantly short of flight crew.

Tvis was due to G-STBA being tech on arrival into JNB due to a passenger oxygen supply issue.

Friday 21 June 2024

BA189 EWR
BA295 ORD

Just those two cancelled and I imagine related to the same aircraft issues referred to in recent posts. A fairly meaty 342 departures today out of 684 (I often wonder how BA manages to get 50% day after day, one way or the other). Arrivals are coming in on time, a few delays on departures.

Landing RWY: 27R
Airborne holding (mins): 12
Departure RWY: 27L
TSAT delay average (mins): 0

Network: EGLL 45/60 0540-0900, 42/60 0900-1200. 117 regulations across Europe.
EDDF (Frankfurt) Arrivals regulated due to Weather (CB). High delays. LGAV (Athens)Arrivals regulated due to ATC Capacity. Moderate delays. LHCC (Budapest)Several sectors regulated due to Ukrainian situation. Moderate to high delays. LIRR (Roma) Several sectors regulated due to ATC Capacity. Moderate delays. LSAZ (Zurich) M5 sector regulated due to Weather (CB). Moderate to high delays.

Weather: A warm and sunny day. Winds start light and S'ly and turn SW'ly light to gentle during the morning. During the afternoon the winds strengthen to moderate SW'ly ahead of a front which brings rain and cloud overnight.
