10.06.09
British Airways has launched the first new long-haul plane to enter its fleet in 8 years. The Boeing 777-200ER was kitted out at the British Airways Maintenance Cardiff (BAMC) centre at Cardiff Airport and deployed on flights to Washington at the beginning of this month.
Over 20 engineers worked on the project, equipping the plane with World Traveller and Club World seating and installing its in flight entertainment systems. Garry Copeland, BAs director of engineering, said: ‘Our engineers have done a fantastic job in preparing the new aircraft for service. These were some of the most complex modifications ever carried out at BAMC but once again they have risen to the challenge.
BA will receive 3 more Boeing 777 aircraft this year and will carry out similar modifications on each plane.
