IAG Confirms Order for 18 Boeing 787-10 Jets for British Airways Fleet

British Airways' parent company, IAG, has placed a firm order for 18 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner aircraft. The deal also includes options for an additional 12 jets. These new, fuel-efficient aircraft are intended to replace older Boeing 777 models in the British Airways long-haul fleet. The order serves as a significant vote of confidence in Boeing amidst its ongoing production and safety scrutiny. The announcement coincided with IAG reporting a much-reduced first-quarter loss, driven by strong passenger demand.
