I'm not impressed about keeping the old 747's, thought they were fuel hungry and expensive to maintain?  IAG apparently wants to stem capital outflows ... The situation must be seen as serious. |

Get the A350 in boys, cheaper to run, only has two engines, I know a guy around the corner who can fix you up half a dozen for a good price.......  BA have already taken delivery of 23 B787s in the last 3 years with the 24th due next month, so they have already got rid of the oldest / worst condition B747s |

I would say IAG/ BA are being cautious in uncertain times, BA don't have many more new widebody aircraft due, 24th B787 in Dec and then the 25th is not due till late 2017. Edit - 5 more due after to complete the order for 30 -800 and- 900s |

How ever the numbers does not fit exactly - there was an increase in capacity - no doubt about that. |

IAG has re scheduled its long haul aircraft deliveries for 2017 - 2022 with AB and BO, no cancellations ! Quote "IAG has shuffled the delivery schedule of new twin-aisle aircraft, having previously indicated that it was reviewing its long-haul fleet development. The company states that it has outstanding commitments to 43 Airbus A350s, among them 18 A350-1000s, for delivery in 2018-22. It is also taking 18 Boeing 787s – including 12 of the new 787-10 – over 2017-21." Full Article - www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/iag-satisfied-with-long-haul-deliveries-shuffle-434560/ |

Actual delivery schedule of BA a350-1000 (ATDB)
2019 3x
2020 8x
2021 3x
2022 3x
2023 1x
delivery schedule of options for 18 additional a350-1000 (ATDB)
2023 3x
2024 4x
2025 3x
2026 5x
2027 3x
As BA wants to retire remaining 36 747-400 until february 2024, they need more a350-1000 in 2023-2024 timeframe.

IAG could also just buy 10-20 more B777-300s very very cheap. PS BA also have a few more B787-9s due for delivery in the next few months as well ! |
