The 16th is due to a tech aircraft and no spare airframes.

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?

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.

There have been cancellations on both the 12th and 13th, and I'm pretty sure it's down to a shortage of frames. So I would certainly claim for this.

Correct, tech aircraft and no spare airframes.

BJD went tech.

TIA
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!

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!

It was indeed a technical issue. Not sure why anyone would question what the captain operating the service said vs some poxy data scraping site, but there we go. GIGO.
