British Airways orders new planes

BA says the new planes will allow it to increase capacity
British Airways has placed an order for 34 new aircraft - the largest the airline has made since 1998.
The carrier is buying 12 Airbus A380 superjumbos and 24 Boeing 787s. It also has options for a further seven A380s and 18 of the 787 planes.
The new aircraft will replace 34 of BA's existing long-haul fleet, and will be delivered between 2010 and 2014.
The new planes would be "greener, quieter and more fuel efficient" with much lower CO2 emissions, BA said.
The carrier added that the new orders, including the options, would give it the ability to increase its capacity by 4% a year.

Very Happy
