The final British Airways BAe RJ aircraft left the fleet on July 14 2010.
The nine Avro RJ100 and two RJ85 aircraft operated by wholly owned British Airways subsidiary BA CityFlyer have been the backbone of the regional fleet at London City Airport since 2003. For many years before that they operated at Gatwick and other UK regional bases.
The London City operated RJs have been replaced by 11 brand new Embraer 170 and 190SR aircraft and BA CityFlyer now officially operates the youngest fleet of aircraft in the UK. The first one was delivered 10 months ago and a final Embraer 190SR will be delivered in November this year.
The last RJ aircraft, registration GLCY-B, operated its final commercial flight for British Airways from Glasgow to London City.
The 87-seat RJ85 has the short take-off and landing capability needed at London City airport. The aircraft, known as the Whisperjet, also meets the airport's rules on noise reduction.
It has a range of around 1,000 miles, putting the majority of European capitals within its reach.
