AIRBUS was very much to the fore at the Farnborough Air Show during last weekend with British Airways flying in one of its two A318s used on the London City – New York JFK service. The airline gets its first A380 in 2012. Airshow attendees were also able to try out the airline's simulator demonstrator, configured as a Gatwick-based Boeing 737-400 and set up for Heathrow’s 27 left runway. BA had the prime spot vacated by the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. www.ba.com
