BA orders up to 10 777-300ERs
| Quote: |
British Airways has ordered six Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, and placed options on another four of the type, as an interim measure to cope with delays to the Boeing 787 programme.
Delivery of the twin-jets will begin in 2010. It marks the first time the carrier has opted for the larger 777 variant; its current 777 fleet, totalling 42 aircraft, comprises a mix of -200 and -200ER versions.
Sources had already confirmed to ATI, Flightglobal's sister premium news source, that the Oneworld carrier was in discussions to take the type. BA says today that the aircraft will give the airline "greater flexibility" in its long-haul fleet following delays to BA’s 787 deliveries. |

Would love to see a BA 77W. |
