British Airways (BA, London Heathrow) is planning to once more lease in A320 Family capacity from fellow Oneworld member carrier Qatar Airways (QR, Doha Hamad International) documents filed with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in December have revealed.

In its application, British Airways sought permission to wet-lease in A320-200s A7-LAA through LAF for use on unspecified routes across Europe between February 9 and April 9, inclusive.

British Airways previously turned to the Qataris last year when nine A320-200s were recruited to cover a crew strike.
