My flight on the 18th BA217 to IAD is cancelled. Expertflyer doesn’t give a reason for the cancellation. I’ve been rebooked on the BA293 5 hours later. Not sure if this is eligible for compensation?

Hello all, I'm assuming it.was due to airframe availability. Our flight BA184 EWR'-LHR was cancelled 2 days before it was due to depart. Can anyone verify the reason for this please. Our replacement flight ( BA182 JFK - LHR ) was then just under 2 hours late 🤣 BA tried to put us on AA100 in WT but we were CW on the original so I opted to choose my own from the list supplied and I put us on the BA182 back in Club World. Background information I am ex BA LHR but left BA for ATC some 20 years ago. So I know all about scheduling and what goes on in avaition etc I was just curious if anyone knew on the inside the reason.
Correct, tech aircraft and no spare airframes.

Not a cancellation but an extended delay. BA249 (and it’s corresponding return working BA248) over four hours late today. Originally allocated G-ZBJD which I see hasn’t flown since the 11th so I’m assuming possibly defective. Is it possible to check the reason for delay?

Predominantly it is a reactionary delay from the outbound BA 2622 LGW-NCE. Whilst there was a delay in off loading some missing pax and their bags on the BA2623, the outbound was delayed and listed as 'Operations Other'.

Hello, is anyone able to tell my why and how long BA293 LHR-IAD 17 Apr was delayed? The capitán said maintenance, but Google flights says runway congestion..
Thank you!
Thank you!

I was on this flight too. I’ve just looked and it’s down as ‘ZO’ - Operational reasons and a 3 hour 24 min delayed arrival. My comp claim is already submitted!

Any idea why BA280 is cancelled LAX-LHR today (April 18th)?
And BA268 isn't showing a tail number in Flightradar after being delayed.
Eeek.
Thanks!
