Dear all,

this is my first post in the BA forum, so I hope this is the appropriate place to post my question. It is also not important. It is just a matter of curiosity.

BA has a large fleet of 747-400 but no 747-8.[1]
Is the reason because the 747-8 was commerically introduced shortly after the A380 (about 4 years?) and BA wanted to focus on the latter?
If this is the case: Why does LH fly the A380, the 747-8 and the 747-400?

As I said, just of curiosity.

Thank you!

[1] For instance, I flew recently the 747-400 between LHR-ORD as well as -IAD. Well, I did not fly the plane. I was just a pax.
