the B777-200 ER is BA's international long haul workhorse, which will have to be replaced with additional 53 - 58 brand new B787-10, A350-1000 HGW & A350-900 ULR wide body jets . . . divert half of it's upcoming fleet of 26 brand new A320-200 Neo to it's regional full service subsidiary BA Euro Flyer . . . the British full service carrier legacy is still one of the best by far, in terms of it's services offered . . . a flag carrier still very sought after by the world . . .
@@khalidabdulghani yeah, doubt BA will be adding any of those to their fleet. Qantas are going with new A350-1000ULRs for their project sunrise fleet, so I guess if BA ever intends to operate non-stop flights to Australia themselves they’d likely also go for A350ULRs, either the 9 or 10.
No, they will be replacing them with 787-10’s and 777x’s. They don’t need an A350-1000HGW, and have no need for, nor are they interested in an A350-900ULR, not to mention that jet was solely made for Singapore Airlines.

Has to be the 380 have been lucky enough to fly in business on BA 380 just an incredible experience 2nd favourite is the 350- 1000 look amazing, I hope to fly on one soon.
Fr, been on the BA A380 twice and both times it was incredibly comfortable. Although at the time I was barely 5ft tall, not sure how comfortable it would be now that I’m 6ft
I flew 787-9 in business recently and will fly A380 in business in October. I like both aircraft, but the old business class is just not up to standards and miles away from the new product you get in A350X, 787-10 and some 777-3
Sun Air also fly into Cambridge Airport using the 328 Jet. That would be a nice story... Also covering the pax ops of the airport which will soon close due to redevelopment of the area. After decades the airport will be replaced with housing.
You missed out the 787 that front landing gear collapsed on the ground. Also I think BA should get the A220s in their fleet from city and maybe bring back city to NY
Interesting that it doesn't have any Airbus A330 while another IAG airline, Aer Lingus' only wide body type is the A330. They have the A330-300 and -200. Although I'm aware that Aer Lingus is a smaller airline.
Wish BA had used the 340-600 they would of looked stunning in BA livery unfortunately only Iberia used them was a beautiful looking aircraft and miss seeing them at BA Virgin fleet were sold off when Covid hit but still an opportunity to fly with Lufthansa until they are replaced in a few years time
They need to get their existing fleet up to a good standard. The amount of unserviceable IFE's I've seen in premium economy over the last year is just silly. And then there's the tray tables there that are so broken you have to hold your food tray onto the table with one hand so it doesn't slide off. I've had both those issues on different flights. I fly with them for work, so I don't mind as I'm not the one paying, but for my trip to Canada next year, I'll probably choose Air Canada, just because I don't think BA are worth the price they charge.
@@nntflow7058 etihad also operates the 350-1000, but don't have any 900s on order. They have the 787-10 instead .

Unless BA needs the additional range of the a350-900 ( which I doubt ) , they will most likely go for more 10s
The 777s are more Heavily-Engineered and are a better Workhorse than the A350s and I believe BA are a lot more loyal to their Boeing Company for Their wide-bodied Twin-Engined Aircrafts. Both manufacturers are worthy of applause 🙏🏾❤️

The don't need aircraft with the range and size of B777-200ER or A350-900 to begin with. Unlike BA, etihad is located in Abu Dhabi. Most of their routes are serviceable using B787-10 since it's pretty centralized location wise. Many of the BA's long haul routes are significantly longer compared to Etihads. Hence why they utilize B777-200ER more.
I have flown on BA´s 321 neo, 320 ceo, 787-9, A350, and A380. While I love the mighty A380, it was a bit disappointing that neither the 380 nor the A350 have live cams in comparison to Air France’s and other Airbus operators. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the World Traveller Plus product on the 787 and A380 respectively, which I found them good value for money although I was not really impressed by the IFE. All in all, IMHO the A350 is by far the best fleet today.
Too many different aircraft in their long haul fleet. They also have really old narrow body aircraft. Can’t get over their reason not to fly between LGW AND Edinburgh. They seem to have allowed EasyJet to walk all over them on this route .
