I’m sure there is a valid reason for BA to persist with the 747’s and the A380’s , but when you see that they burn 63% more fuel per passenger KM it doesn’t appear to make a lot of economical sense.

I appreciate that the list takes into account the number of premium seats that BA offers against the high loads of Norwegian and Wow but even so these 4 engine planes are comparative gas guzzlers v the A350, 787-9 etc.

BA say that they will deliver a 25% improvement in Carbon emissions by 2025 is that supposed to co-inside with the phasing out of the 747’s ?
