BA appears to switch 787-9s for more -8s

British Airways appears to have reduced the number of Boeing 787-9s it expects to receive, according to parent IAG’s latest fleet plan.

The fleet plan outlined in IAG’s full-year results shows a total of 18 787-9s for the carrier, three fewer than the 21 listed in the half-year schedule.

Sixteen of these aircraft have already been delivered.

The latest IAG schedule appears to show that the three absent 787-9s have been converted to the smaller 787-8.

BA has eight 787-8s in service but the outstanding number on order has been raised from one to four.

These four 787-8s, plus the two remaining 787-9s and the 12 787-10s on order are all scheduled for delivery between 2017 and 2021.

IAG had listed 18 options for 787-9s at the end of 2015 but this had been adjusted to six -9s and 12 -8s by mid-2016 before being revised again to 18 -9s in the latest schedule.

BA has reduced to 37 the number of Boeing 747-400s in its fleet and cut the total number of 767-300s to eight.
