Long-Haul Order
British Airways has ordered four Boeing 777-200 planes in the first step towards the expansion of its long-haul fleet.
The new aircraft will be delivered during early 2009. BA, which is headed by former Aer Lingus chief Willie Walsh, also has options on four more planes for 2010.
BA plans another major planes order later this year. The planes it has ordered usually cost around $200m each.
