Lockdown 2.0 - British Airways ground more Aircraft

British Airways Lockdown 

As of 5th November 2020 England's Coronavirus restrictions have been tightened and the whole country has been put into  a 2nd lockdown. As a result of this, many more British Airways A319 and A320 have made their way up to Glasgow Airport for storage as there is no use for them currently. They have been moving them up from London Heathrow (LHR) for a few days and filling up the apron space at Glasgow. I mentioned in a previous update that there had been several A321s based at Glasgow. Currently there a 4 left and the other have now departed to Madrid meaning that the space can be used by the others that have flown up.

Phase 2 of the British Airways storage at Glasgow has currently seen the following aircraft fly North on these days:

    Even though Glasgow is one of the main airports in Scotland, it's still amazing that it can store this many aircraft while still remaining operational

      Definitely. Let's hope they return to the skies soon though!

There was no reason whatsoever that this was an event to miss for any aviation enthusiast.  The plane in question was the Soviet built, and one of a kind, Antonov Airlines Antonov An-225 Mriya ('Mriya' means dream in Ukrainian). This mega plane was built in 1988 with the purpose of carrying the 'Buran',  the Soviet Space Programs space shuttle. Today it is used on major cargo carrying missions. After a major refurbishment and complete overhaul in 2019, the An-225 has been very much alive during the Covid-19 pandemic delivering PPE and medical supplies from China and other cargo across the globe.  Specifications: Crew: 6 Length: 84m Wingspan: 88.4m Height: 18.1m Max Take Off Weight: 64...
