BA212 vs. BAW45B

BA flight 212 is the actual flight number from BOS to LHR. Any idea why it identifies as (Speedbird) 45B and not 212? 45B also appears next to 212 in Flightradar24.

Thanks.

A lot of airlines do that from time to time,it is some sort of internal company coding.

Thanks for your response.

But what is 45B? Just a random number? It wasn’t even a part of the a/c registration.
