• BA27 is operated by a 777

Notes:-

1. The 777-300ER (77W) is the 777 variant usually operating to HKG.
2. The aircraft that operates BA31 LHR-HKG on any day then operates the following day's BA32 HKG-LHR, and the aircraft that operates BA27 on any day then operates the following day's BA28.
3. The northern winter 2019/20 information was last checked on 16 July 2019.
4. As always, changes are possible. Northern summer 2020 is almost certainly unconfirmed, including at the season boundary at its beginning.
