BA reconfigures interiors of two B777-200
British Airways has removed the seats and stripped the interiors of two of its grounded B777-200. In March, the airline began operating cargo-only services with no passengers, carrying cargo solely in the hold. In April, BA started carrying cargo on its seats, while these recent changes will mean these aircraft now have space for an extra 100 cbm of cargo on each flight.
BA and its sister company IAG Cargo have already operated more than 80 cargo charter flights carrying tonnes of PPE and ventilators for the NHS, in partnership with the UK government.
John Cheetham, chief commercial officer at IAG Cargo: "During this time, we’ve worked with our customers to provide solutions that keep vital goods moving around the world. Solutions that include the opportunity to charter our planes." (ah)
