Capital Markets Day: new announcements
Presentation here: http://www.iairgroup.com/phoenix.zht...-presentations
Seen so far:
Product
- Extra £200m to be invested in Club World (£600m in total)
- Lounges in 2018 (include): JFK, Rome & Aberdeen
- "Improved catering in every cabin" - whether that means no more snack basket in Economy. "New" long-haul catering starts January 2018 "greater quantity and improved quality....new and better snacks."
Fleet
- Heathrow B747 refurbishment starts 2018 (?) - > Anyone know more about what is going on here?
- B767s gone by 2017 and 10 A320NEOs 3 A321NEOs in 2018
- Page 17 and 120 linked. It appears BA will get 3 more B777-300s based on the document -replacing three B777-200s (I initially thought it was a mistake because there is no mention in the IAG fleet plan)
- By 2020, there will be 2 more B787s at BA (compared to previous 2020 plan last year)
Technology
- Auto-boarding for international flights to be rolled out
More to follow...

More likely competitive enough to keep it mostly full!

So much about many of these aircraft is now tired - the cabins, the IFE, the seating, and especially the passengers who were not fortunate enough to be on the upper deck that just got off one after a 10 hour flight.

I think there are 18 in the 52J set-up. There are also some 86J aircraft which date back to the mid 1990s. I counted 36 747s in all, so that suggests a dozen will be retained.
I still think an ageing 747 beats pretty much any 777.
