British Airways A318

[Spaice]

BA recently took delivery of an Airbus A318 to be used on the London city to New York route, the aircraft has been seen operating from runway 27 on test flights a week after delivery.  Has anybody managed to log this on the RB and if so did it have ADS-B.

The aircraft will make a technical stop on route to NY for fuel on the outbound leg and non-stop on the return flight, the aircraft is fitted out for 32 passengers in business class.

The ERJ-170 is on its way too.

BA have also received the first of the Embraer 170 for use under the BA Cityflyer, this is also to operate from London City, I guess these will not have ADS-B

Picked the A318 on several occasions on Friday & Saturday inbound London City  via Lambourne but to low for me to see

Got G-EUNA at around 1 pm today. Wasn't at PC at time but MyLog confirms ADS-B.

Thanks for confirming ADS-B,  what kind of damage did the Embraer receive on its delivery flight. will it delay entry  into service?

It had a bird strike to the nose cone from online reports. Nothing serious.
