Hi, I wondering if someone can direct me to the routes used by there 737-3/4/5 or even tell meCheersJames Andrews

I think British Airways have actually retired most of their 737-3/4/5 fleet, and have been slowly replacing them with Airbus A318, A319, A320, and A321 types over the last decade. I believe currently the only Boeing 737 CL type with the airline is the 737-400. The BA 737-500s and 737-300s are gone.They operate their Boeing 737-400 aircraft on short-haul European and UK domestic routes. I don't know where you can work out exactly on which routes they use their 737s on but they do fly to the capitals (and in some cases other popular cities) of these European countries: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Ukraine.Also the BA 737-400s could be used on their routes to: Israel, Russia and Turkey. In addition to local flights within the UK. I suspect most of these destinations have been taken over by Airbus equivalents, but they were the domain of the 737-3/4/5 fleet before and the current 737-400 still operate on some of these routes.You might be able to find more information here: http://www.airlineroutemaps.com/Europe/index.shtmlThey seem to be switching short and medium haul flights to narrow body Airbus types, not the next generation Boeing 737s. While keeping to wide body Boeing types for the long range routes. For really short haul their BA CityFlyer fleet consist of RJ100s and Embraer E170. Looks like they won't be using Boeings for short and medium haul flights in the future. But they will be keeping to them for long-haul with B777s and B787s in addition to Airbus A380s.I hope they keep their Boeing 757s for a while yet.

As an interesting aside with regard to long haul flights, BA currently operate the tiny A318 from London City airport to New York JFK with a stop on the outbound trip at Shannon. That's a hell of a long trip for a little bus.Al

Hey James, you can do a search here in the file library for Pete King, he has the entire BA winter schedules with aircraft,cruise alt,dep times but like i said the aircrat for the route. Gatwick is the main airport for BA's 737's.Hope this helpsChris

Yeah, that's cutting it really close. Even Airbus' own range ring on their website reaches only Dublin from New York for the A318. It must barely make it to meet the reserve requirements.

Turns out they are using the A318 Elite variant with only 32 passengers, which has a range of 4000+nm. So it's not as close as a normal A318 would be, which only has a range of 3250nm

As a BAV member i can say that:The 737-300 were operated in south africa for a charter airline, they have now since been retired...BA usually fly all B737-400 out of GATWICK and the Airbus A3/19/20/21 out of heathrowThe b734 serves UK destiantions including aberdeen all the way down to jersey. and also european sectors

Seriously?! I never actually knew that the A318 can fly that distance at all. I always assumed these planes were brought to the Americas by means of cargo ships, as a means of explaining how these planes were delivered to the airlines operating there.

Ever heard of Iceland......or Greenland :( The A318 has to make a stop in Ireland for fuel before it hits the oceanic tracks (It picks up a few extra passengers there too, IIRC) The A318 is perfectly capable though, as is the A319(Even further) and A320 (Only slightly further) the A318 is the second shortest range airplane of the baby busses. the shortest range is 3,000 Nautical miles (Held by the A321, the A318 does about 3100, the A320 does about 3200, and the A319 can do a whopping 3600 in a normal configuration, LR version does about 5,500~ or so.Regards,Ryan Briggs
