British Airways has placed an order for 34 new aircraft – the largest the airline has made since 1998.
The airline is buying 12 Airbus A380 superjumbos and 24 Boeing 787s. It also has options for a further seven A380s and 18 of the 787 planes.
Now that BA has made the move to the A380, which of the US airlines will be the first to crack? My guess is United, for their trans-Pacific routes.
