British Airways to ground 16 747s and 757s for winter
By David Kaminski-Morrow
British Airways is to ground 16 aircraft for the upcoming winter season, to
rein in capacity following the sharp decline in passenger demand.
It will ground eight Boeing 747-400s and eight 757-200s in order to cut
capacity by 4% for winter 2009-10.
BA has already laid plans to sell the 757 fleet to another operator for cargo
conversion.
The airline has already increased its capacity reduction for the summer
season to 2.5% from the 2% it disclosed in March.
Over winter 2008-09 the airline cut capacity by 3.1%.
BA says it has the flexibility to withdraw more of its long-haul aircraft,
notably as the number of jets in its fleet older than 20 years - some of its
Boeing 747-400s and 767s - is set to increase. Sixteen of its 121 long-haul
aircraft will be above this 20-year threshold in 2010-11.
"We are taking action to mitigate the impact of the economic crisis on our
business," said BA chief Willie Walsh, after detailing a heavy full-year
operating loss for the airline of ￡220 million ($349 million).
BA's operating loss in the fourth quarter reached ￡309 million, as revenues
dropped by 8.4% to ￡1.9 billion. Yields were down 2.5%, but 16% excluding
exchange.
