British Airways said to favor Boeing 777X
March 01, 2019
Bloomberg LONDON (Bloomberg) — British Airways is leaning toward ordering Boeing Co. 777X aircraft to replace its aging 747 jumbo jets, people familiar with the matter said.
A deal is set to be announced as early as Thursday, when the airline’s parent company reports earnings, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the talks are confidential. Board members at the carrier’s owner, IAG SA, met Wednesday to review competing offers from Boeing and Airbus SE, one of the people said.
The size of the potential order isn’t known, although British Airways is poised to retire all 34 of its four-engine jumbos by early 2024. The carrier has also been mulling an order of an earlier Boeing model, the 777-300ER, to fill the gap in its network as deliveries of the 777X ramp up following the new jet’s commercial debut next year, the people said.
The endorsement by one of the world’s premier airlines gives new lift to the 777X program ahead of the upgraded model’s factory roll-out and first flight this year. Analysts have questioned the size of the plane, which features the longest wings ever produced by Boeing and can seat upwards of 400 travelers, as sales sputter after an initial order flurry. IAG also considered adding to an existing British Airways order for Airbus A350-1000 jets.
