End of the line for G-EUNA

On 17 February, British Airways' single remaining A318, G-EUNA (4007) arrived at Enschede-Twente Airport where it will be dismantled by AELS. The aircraft was already taken out of service on 18 March 2020 and parked at Madrid-Barajas two days later. It hadn't flown since then. The A318 was delivered new to the airline in August 2009.

British Airways acquired two A318s for exclusive use on the iconic BA1-flight between London and New York-JFK (NY). The two were based at London-City and made a short stop at Shannon for fuel and TSA-clearance. The flight back to London was non-stop. Despite initial success, the airline decided to reduce the frequency and sold of G-EUNB (4039) to Titan Airways in July 2017 where it still flies today. Last year, in July 2020, British Airways announced it would discontinue the service between London-City and New York-JFK after posting a massive loss inflicted by the Corona-pandemic.
