Hi all, I noticed this on FR24, a BA 757 on a route from France to US, now i know about open skies but how come the plane has a French registration?

Thank you, I didn't know IAG had a French airline in their arsenal.

Yeah they are owned by both BA and IAG, head office is in France, 3 aircraft in the fleet and operate a full transatlantic service

They have French registrations because they are on a French AOC, still. No point going through the paperwork to change that when Open Skies can use.. open skies.

The guy who flipped L'Avion on to BA has another airline now, La Compagnie. One of their French-registered 757s just went over NI
