BA Cityflyer to replace RJ100 fleet by early 2009
06.03.08
Flightglobal.com says that propellers could be set to replace jet engines at BA CityFlyer. The website says that BA could make a return to turboprop flying as it evaluates potential replacements for the 10 BAE Systems Avro RJ100s operated at London City Airport by its CityFlyer subsidiary.
BA commercial director Robert Boyle says the airline is looking at the Embraer 170/190 family and ‘may look again’ at turboprops. He adds that switching to younger Avro RJ-family aircraft is also a possibility, as BA looks to decide on an RJ100 replacement in the next year or so. BA has excluded the Airbus A318, which the airline is acquiring for its new all-business London City Airport - New York operation, because it is too heavy for short-haul flights.
