BA take delivery of first plane for New York service
04.09.09
British Airways has taken delivery of the first of two uniquely configured Airbus A318 aircraft, to be used to operate its new Business Class-only service between London City Airport and New York. BA became the first airline to receive the specially modified A318 with 'steep approach' capability, allowing its to land and take off at steeper than usual gradients, such as those at the Docklands hub.
The new service will be launched on September 29 and will be operated daily, except on Saturdays, increasing to twice daily from mid-October. BA's two A318s have also been specially configured to carry only 32 passengers on business class seats that can convert to fully flat beds. The planes will also be equipped to enable passengers to work during flights on emails, the Internet and text from mobile phones.
