I’m not that sure that BA is looking too hard for A380 frames, Airbus must be desperate to sell frames just to keep the programme going plus airlines are struggling to fit them within their fleet plans as the world is generally moving away from hub and spoke and thirsty four engine aircraft. I generally think BA has enough already to meet their needs.
