BA maps out seat plans on new aircraft

With the first of the airline’s new long-haul aircraft only six months away from delivery, British Airways has announced the cabin design and layout for its Boeing 787 and Airbus A380 aircraft.

Two hundred and fourteen customers will enjoy the comforts of the new British Airways Dreamliner and the A380 will be the largest aircraft in the British Airways fleet, with 469 customers.

The 24 Dreamliners and 12 A380s will feature the elegant cabin designs fitted on British Airways’ new Boeing 777 300ER aircraft, which have proved hugely popular with customers.

All eight B787-8s will feature a new Club World 2:3:2 layout, the latest generation World Traveller and World Traveller Plus seats.

In addition, the newA380 will also have an enhanced version of First.. The exact seating plans of another 16 B787-9’s on order have yet to be finalised, they could have three or four-cabin configurations.

BA is set to be the first European airline to operate both new aircraft types, with its first Dreamliner arriving in May and A380 deliveries starting in July.

Speaking in Seoul, Willie Walsh, chief executive of International Airlines Group (IAG), said: “We are investing £5bn in British Airways’ new and upgraded aircraft, innovative technologies and customer services.

“We now have six Boeing 777 300ERs all fitted with our latest cabins. Our customer feedback and satisfaction scores show the seat and cabin designs have achieved the highest ratings we have ever seen.

“By next Spring we will have finished installing our new First cabins. The nine new aircraft we take delivery of in 2013 will feature our latest signature designs to ensure the customer experience maintains the highest standard across our fleet.”

The BA Dreamliner will have 35 seats for customers in the new Club World triple configuration of 2:3:2 across two cabins; 25 seats in a World Traveller Plus layout of 2:3:2; and a further 154 seats for those travelling in the World Traveller cabin, with a 3:3:3 configuration.

On the British Airways A380 there will be 14 seats in First on the main deck, with extra personal and stowage space; the Club World cabin will feature 44 seats in a 2:4:2 configuration; and there will be 199 seats in the two World Traveller cabins, with a 3:4:3 layout.

The A380 upper deck will feature 53 seats in the new Club World triple configuration of 2:3:2; 55 seats in a 2:3:2 World Traveller Plus layout; and two World Traveller cabins with 104 seats in a 2:4:2 configuration.

Both new aircraft will also feature the airline’s latest Thales in-flight entertainment system, which offers customers 50 per cent more movies, 200 per cent more TV shows and 200 per cent more audio programmes and music*.

Customers will also benefit from new larger screens in all cabins and an easier to use system with shortcut buttons. They will also be able to connect personal devices, such as laptops and use the in-seat power available for the first time in all cabins.

In 2013, British Airways will take delivery of nine new long-haul aircraft. The first British Airways Dreamliner will be delivered in May 2013. A further three will arrive by the end of the year. The first A380 will be delivered in July, with additional deliveries in August and October. Two additional 777-300s will arrive in September and October.

British Airways will announce the routes the new aircraft will operate in Spring 2013.

Un po' ambiguo perche' se ho ben capito la nuova First non verra' installata sui 747 che BA ha in mente di dismettere nel breve periodo. Quindi ci si potrebbe imbattere nella vecchia F ancora per qualche tempo nonostante BA dica che l'installazione della New First sia ultimata.

Hai ragione due volte. La frase avrebbe dovuto dire che l’installazione della nuova first, chiamata anche Prime, e’ completa sui 777 a 4 classi e sui 747 destinati ad averla.
I 747 che non hanno ricevuto la Prime sono: G-BNLF, BNLI, BNLJ, BNLL, BNLM, BNLS, BLW, BNLY, CIVA, CIVB, CIVC.
 
British Airways today announced a new route to Chengdu in China, just weeks after starting services to Seoul in South Korea.

To celebrate the launch, and reflecting the Chinese belief that eight is an auspicious number, flights to Chengdu are available from just £508 if booked between today and January 6, 2013. The flight number for the inbound service is BA88 and BA89 for the London outbound flight.

British Airways will be the only UK carrier to offer a direct service between Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport and London Heathrow.

The thrice-weekly service, which is now on sale, will start on September 22, 2013. The route will be served by a four-cabin Boeing 777 with First, Club World (business class), World Traveller Plus (premium economy) and World Traveller (economy).

Willie Walsh, CEO of IAG, who announced the route in Chengdu today, said: “I have visited China on many occasions and last year went to Chengdu to see for myself the progress that has been made at the airport. It is truly impressive and shows vision and ambition.

“I am delighted to announce this new route which demonstrates the importance of mainland China to British Airways and our commitment to grow our presence here.

“Economic growth in China is continuing to outstrip that of most other countries, and Chengdu is not only the capital of Sichuan Province in the South West of China but one of the country’s largest cities.

“Since 1990, Chengdu’s economy has expanded rapidly, consistently delivering double-digit rates of growth. We are confident that the new route between Chengdu and London will prove popular with customers travelling between the two major economic hubs.

“China is also a fascinating venue for leisure travellers, and the region is famed for its giant pandas, rich culture and excellent cuisine.”

In Summer 2013, British Airways will also be increasing frequencies on services from London Heathrow to Chennai, Hyderabad, Jeddah, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro and Toronto.

Newsletter, per tutti coloro che non vedono l'ora di volare a Chengdu. E complimenti a chi sa collocarla sulla cartina muta...
 
Interessante come destinazione, certo mi aspettavo che ci fosse già un volo da parte di qualcuno di *A visto che è il secondo aeroporto più importante per Air China come voli nazionali. E invece le prime europee ad arrivarci sono delle altre due alleanze :)
 
Man tried to butt captain on airplane

The Daily Mirror (Eire) reports that an unruly passenger tried to head-butt the captain of a transatlantic flight, causing it to divert to Shannon airport yesterday. Ennis District Court Judge Patrick Durcan said 35-year old Australian Damian Kingston had endangered the safety of crew and fellow passengers on the British Airways service to London City airport. The paper notes Mr Kingston was one of 30 customers on board the exclusive business-class 32-seater British Airways service from JFK airport. Judge Durcan told the court: “Being on board a small aircraft over the Atlantic faced with someone trying to head-butt the captain is very frightening. This was a small aeroplane with a small crew. It still required the intervention of the captain and the response he received was an attempted head-butting. In my view, the seriousness of this is such that the most severe penalties that can be imposed, will be imposed”. Mr Kingston has been remanded on bail to appear in court again tomorrow.
