British Airways has confirmed an order with Boeing for 4 777-200's and taken options for a further 4. The deliveries are scheduled for 2009 with the further 4 options being available in 2010.
No decision has been made yet on the Major long haul fleet renewal where an estimated 34 plains from the fleet will be renewed.
Boeing won the contract after beating the airbus bid for supply of the A330.
B/A have not disclosed the how much the deal is worth with Boeing.
