British Airways First A380 Delivery Tomorrow July 4th

Tomorrow sees British Airways join Lufthansa and Air France as the biggest European Airlines to add the Airbus A380 to its fleet. The delivery will take place into London Heathrow tomorrow 4th July and comes shortly after the first delivery of the Boeing 787. BA have an order for 34 787-9's and the A380 is the first of 12 in total to join the BA family.

The A380 will take on shorter haul flights as part of its integration into the fleet before but to work on the long haul services to the likes of LA and Hong Kong later this year. Boeing 747-400's are likely to be replaced by the A380 and future orders for either the new A350 or Boeing 777x.

I look forward to seeing this beast gracing the skies in BA colours.
