OUR FLEET
We have a modern and fast growing fleet. Currently, it consists of both medium and heavy aircraft from different manufacturers. We plan to expand our fleet as much as we can and enable our pilots to fly on the aircraft type they prefer.

The Boeing 777-300 is a long range, twin aisle, twin-engine jet manufactured by Boeing, the American aerospace company. We operate these on routes to Asia and North America. Often referred to as the “Triple Seven”, it was the world’s first commercial aircraft entirely designed by computer. Its visible features include super large engines, low hanging landing gear and a blade shaped tail cone with a relatively narrow tailfin. British Airways took part in the design of the aircraft with Boeing, and is today one of the world’s largest operator of the type. The Boeing 777 has emerged as a best seller for longhaul commercial aircraft thanks to its excellent fuel efficiency and cabin comfort. Compared to the 777-200, the Boeing 777-300 features a longer body, raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.

The Boeing 747-8i is a wide body, four-engine jet manufactured by Boeing, the American aerospace company. Its distinctive upper deck shape has earned it the nickname “Jumbo Jet”. The 747-8i is a proven performer with high reliability and incorporates major aerodynamic improvements over earlier 747 models, including the addition of winglets to reduce drag, new avionics, and a new flight deck.The 747 fits into today's infrastructure, serving more than 210 airports around the world and is also the world's fastest commercial jetliner. The 747-8's most noticeable aerodynamic improvement over previous 747s is the 6-foot (1.8-m) longer wing with a 6-foot-high winglet angled upward and slightly outward. This change reduces fuel burn and extends the aircraft's range.

The Boeing 767-300 is a mid-size, dual aisle, twin-engine jet manufactured by Boeing, the American aerospace company. It was the first wide-bodied twin jet manufactured by Boeing and was initially designed alongside the Boeing 757. Both the 767 and 757 share many features in terms of design, which allows pilots to be commonly trained on both with minimum additional training.We make versatile use of the Boeing 767-300 by deploying it on our longhaul network, our European network and even occasionally on our domestic network.

OpenSkies, British Airways' wholly owned subsidiary, operates the Boeing 757 aircraft on longhaul routes between Europe and North America. The aircraft are entirely transformed into large 'private jets' with a three cabin configuration: 'Biz Bed' has fully flat beds, 'Prem Plus' has roomy seats that recline 130° and 'Eco' has comfortable leather seats.
The Boeing 757-200 is a single aisle, twin-engine jet manufactured by Boeing, the American aerospace company. It was designed in the 1980s as a replacement to the very successful Boeing 727, and over 1,000 have been built since.

The 737-800 is a stretched version of the 737-700, and supersedes the 737-400. It also filled the gap left by the decision to discontinue the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and MD-90 following Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas. The -800 was launched by Hapag-Lloyd Flug (now TUIfly) in 1994 and entered service in 1998. The 737-800 seats 162 passengers in a typical two-class layout, or up to 189 in one class. It competes with the A320. For many airlines in the U.S., the 737-800 replaced aging Boeing 727-200 trijets and MD-80 series and MD-90 aircraft.

The Airbus 321-200 is a single aisle, twin-engine jet manufactured by Airbus Industries, the European consortium. It is part of the Airbus 320 family, the world’s best selling aircraft line.Compared with the A320 the A321's obvious difference is the stretched fuselage. Other, less visible changes include more powerful engines, a strengthened undercarriage and larger tyres, all to cope with the extra weight of the aircraft.

Designed as an early-generation Boeing 747 replacement, the A340-600 is capable of carrying 379 passengers in a three-class cabin layout 13,900 kilometres (7,500 nmi). It provides similar passenger capacity to a 747 but with 25 percent more cargo volume, and at lower trip and seat costs. First flight of the A340-600 was made on 23 April 2001. The most direct Boeing equivalent to the A340-600 is the 777-300ER. The A340-600 will eventually be replaced by the A350-1000, which will also compete with the 777-300ER.

The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet manufactured by Airbus Industries, the European consortium. It is the world's largest commercial passenger aircraft and the upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage. It is also the greenest, with the lowest cost per seat and the lowest emissions per passenger of any large aircraft. Despite having almost 50% more floor space and 60% more headroom than the Boeing 747-400, it is 50% quieter on take off.
Carbon fibre, a strong and light material, is used on key parts of the A380. Roughly 25% of the plane's overall structure is made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic.
