A rather surprising order TBH when BA are about to become a relatively large user of the A350-1000 - which is pretty much a direct replacement (and considerably more modern) for the 777W.
Like for like, the 777W is now a generation behind the A350-1000 so with the industry replacement for for the 777W on order from Airbus and deliveries starting soon, why buy more of the old generation? Unless a better delivery / dumped price for end-of-line frames. Probably both!
