Three more 777-300ERs for British Airways (Farnborough)
Just announced... Boeing, British Airways Announce Commitment for Three 777 Airplanes - Jul 19, 2018
Any particular purpose, or perhaps the three remaining A-market 777s G-ZZZA/B/C? Coming up on 23-24 years old.
Also, the chance these arrive 3x4x3...

Hey why not strip the premium cabins on A/B/C and use them to replace the domestic/euro 763s and operate them on high density Scotland and short haul euro services that have a need for larger freight lift.
Use the 3x77w to replace them

Are there gates at T5 which the 767s can use but the 777 can't? If so that would factor against that plan.

certianly there are no doemstic arrival gates which could take a 777, so any domestic arrival would have to be bussed to T5A. If A18 could take a 777 it would have to be fitted with biometrics to allow use as a doemstic departure gate, otherwise you would have to bus any domestic departure on one from a4 or A10a.
