Firstly it was announced by Boeing at Farnborough and for 3 frames. Not saying you are wrong necessarily but all other sources and Boeing say three? Mistype in Market Day perhaps?
British Airways has concluded an operating lease deal with an undisclosed lessor for three Boeing 777-300ERs.
The transaction was announced by Boeing at the Farnborough air show. The three aircraft will be delivered in 2020 and replace three existing 777s, says BA parent IAG.
