What are the new changing go to be with BA's fleet of aircraft over the next 10 years. Will they scrap the 757/767 soon?
Will the shorthaul routes be dominated by Airbus 318/319/320/321? Will they buy a bigger Airbus twin jet 330 to replace some 767s?? whaTS goiNg on?
Is it likely the 777 might eventually take over 747-400 routes?

John,

The A320/19 is due to be the major shorthaul A/C. The 757/767 fleet is on a rundown but in my experience of fleet rundowns it could take about 10 times longer than advertised!

The 777 is already taking some of the 400 routes. However the 777 will never replace the 747 on certain routes.

Hope this is of help.
