IAG satisfied with long-haul deliveries shuffle

IAG has shuffled the delivery schedule of new twin-aisle aircraft, having previously indicated that it was reviewing its long-haul fleet development. The company states that it has outstanding commitments to 43 Airbus A350s, among them 18 A350-1000s, for delivery in 2018-22. It is also taking 18 Boeing 787s – including 12 of the new 787-10 – over 2017-21. IAG had disclosed last November that it was reviewing the long-haul fleet plan ,and CFO Enrique Dupuy said negotiations with Airbus and Boeing had been a “full success”. Dupuy says the talks were “not about cancellations” but about “moving the pattern of deliveries” for the A350s and the 787-10s. “We have achieved our goals,” he says. “We’re now confident in the numbers, the figures and the timing.” <br/>
