Several historical facts you didn't know about the British Airways Boeing 737-236 (G-BGJF)
"Hello aviation enthusiasts and welcome back to our channel! Today, we have a thrilling topic to explore - the British Airways Boeing 737-236 registered as G-BGJF. In this video, we'll take you on a journey into its history, and its service with other operators. So, let's get started!"
"This Boeing 737-236, registered as G-BGJF, was a part of British Airways' fleet for many years. It's time to uncover the story of this remarkable aircraft."
"Our featured aircraft today, a Boeing a member of the iconic Boeing 737 family. It had its first flight from the Boeing Facility in Renton Washington on April 4, 1980. It was known for its versatility, efficiency, and reliability, making it a staple of British Airways' short-haul operations."
"The Boeing 737 series, including the 737-236, has been a workhorse for airlines worldwide. This aircraft type is known for its robust design, fuel efficiency, and passenger comfort."
"But British Airways wasn't the only operator of this versatile aircraft. Let's explore some other airlines that also flew this particular Boeing 737-236."
As stated above, this airliner began it’s life with British Airtours, a former subsidiary of british airways, specializing in cheap air service to European holiday destinations as part of package tours. While with British Airtours, the airliner was painted in the British Airtours variation of the Red Tailed “Negus” livery and received it’s longest standing registration of G-BGJF. For the first three years inside the British Airways family of companies, this aircraft would be named Skylark, named after a common bird of the United Kingdom.
While serving in the British Airways family, this aircraft would transition back and forth. From it’s initial delivery in 1980 all the way to it’s final days in the United Kingdom in 1999. During this nineteen year period the aircraft would also fly for Caledonian Airlines, which was just British Airtours as a separate company, now outside of British Airways, and a six month period of time, flying for Sterling European Airlines, flying out of Denmark. From 1983, to the day this aircraft left British Airways service, the name of the aircraft had been changed to River Axe.
For the final years of this aircraft long career, it would travel to the country of Chile on the western coast of South America. Initially, in the middle of 1999, the aircraft would fly for Ladeco Airlines with a white fuselage and blue vertical stabilizer, with the company logo emblazoned on the tail. While with Ladeco airlines, the aircraft would be registered as CC-CZM. This aircraft’s time with Ladeco airlines, would be short however, as it would leave that airline’s service in 2001.
That same year, the aircraft would go to it’s final operator, Sky Airline another Chilean airline. The registration would be changed to CC-CAP, and the tail would be repainted a dark turquoise with the airline’s logo on the tail. This aircraft would continue flying passengers on short haul flights around South America until 2012. As the years went by, this Boeing 737-236 retired from service. Airlines sought newer, more fuel-efficient aircraft to meet evolving industry demands. At this point it was placed into storage at the Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, where, according to all records we’ve been able to locate, it still resides, providing parts to it’s siblings and cousins.
"In conclusion, the Boeing 737-200 family, including this airliner, had a remarkable legacy in aviation. It was a symbol of reliability, efficiency, and connectivity, despite facing challenges along the way."
"As aviation enthusiasts, it's important to remember these aircraft that have played pivotal roles in connecting the world. While this aircraft and its fellow 737-200s may no longer grace our skies in large numbers, their legacy lives on."
"Thank you for joining us on this journey into the history of this British Airways Boeing 737-236.
