BA takes delivery of first 787-10 after delay
BA has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787-10, almost six months later than originally scheduled. The airline has orders for 12 of the stretched variant and had originally been expecting to receive the first -10 in January. The initial aircraft made its first flight from Boeing’s Charleston, South Carolina plant in January and FlightGlobal understands that several delivery targets were missed. The aircraft was finally ferried to BA’s London Heathrow base overnight on 27-28 June. The airline is configuring its Rolls-Royce Trent 1000-powered 787-10s with 256 seats in four classes. The cabin layout comprises eight seats in first class, a 48-seat business cabin, 35 seats in premium economy and 165 in economy. In November last year, BA stated the twinjet’s initial route would be between London and Atlanta.<br/>
