Having heard that BA are to be wet leasing the Airbus A330941 Neo from Air Belgium during July to November, I thought it would be good to look again at their wet leased A340300s, OOABA and OOABB; which operated some of their Middle Eastern routes during 2018.
Here is footage of these aircraft, together with some reminders of our other Heathrow A340 visitors during that time, including:
Qatar Amiri A340200 A7HHK
Swiss A340300 HBJMI filmed in 2020 when Heathrow was on single runway operations because of COVID travel restrictions
Virgin A340600 GVRED now flying as GECLC for European Cargo
Air Mauritius A340300 3BNBJ seen departing Heathrow in 2018 now wfu.
Iberia A340600 ECLFS the last A340 built. Seen departing in September 2019 on one of the days of the BA Pilot strike. Now wfu.
Hope you enjoy these memories as we look forward to seeing Air Belgium's livery again at Heathrow during this summer. Cheers, Steve
