Sean Doyle’s comments on the engine switch.

Commenting on the order, BA CEO and Chairman Sean Doyle told Aviation Week, "We ran a competition this time around and we factored in cost and quality, your total cost of maintenance, and that's been the driver of our decision."

"About 45%-50% of our engines are the GE, 50% are with Rolls—I think we need competition," Doyle said during a July 23 briefing here at Farnborough Airshow. "I think in the future we’d run the same processes—competition is very important to us."
