British Airways to Take Delivery of First Boeing 787-10 in January 2020

British Airways is scheduled to take delivery of its first Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner in January 2020.

The airline has ordered twelve 787-10 Dreamliners, with six arriving in 2020.

The first to arrive will be used on BA’s flights Atlanta from February 2020.

The four-class aircraft will feature an eight-seat First Class cabin, with the airline’s newest First seat which is currently also available on its 787-9 Dreamliner.

The aircraft also comes fitted with British Airways’ recently unveiled business class seat Club Suite, in a 48-seat forward-facing Club World cabin. The World Traveller Plus cabin will offer 35 seats and the World Traveller cabin will have 165 seats.

Alex Cruz, British Airways Chairman and CEO, said, “The delivery of our first 787-10 aircraft marks another significant milestone in our £6.5bn customer investment plan. The aircraft delivers a 25 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the aircraft it replaces, another step towards our commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. It will also offer greater comfort for our customers, as it features our latest generation seats in all cabins.”

The Boeing 787-10 aircraft has a carbon fibre fuselage which allows the pressure to be maintained at a lower level in the cabin. The internal cabin altitude is the equivalent of 6,000ft, offering a better level of humidity, reducing the drying effect of the cabin air, so customers arrive feeling more refreshed. The aircraft is also more fuel efficient and quieter than its predecessors.
