British Airways Fleet Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Details and Pictures

British Airways Fleet Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Details and Pictures. On current fleet, British Airways operates 18 wide-body aircraft Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

The Boeing 787-9 is a mid-size, dual aisle, twin engine jet and Boeing’s most fuel efficient aircraft to date – 20% more fuel efficient than the similar sized commercial jets it is designed to replace.

Composite materials make up 50% of the primary structure, including the fuselage and wings.

The windows are over 30% larger than those on most similarly sized aircraft and the brightness can be adjusted at the touch of a button.

Serrated edges on the engine nacelles reduce the noise levels by up to 60% both in- and outside the cabin.

The aircraft also features raked wingtips to further improve fuel efficiency.

The Boeing 787-9 – the latest addition to the fleet – features an evolution of our First cabin, with just 8 seats compared to the usual 14, increased range and is 20 feet longer and four inches taller than the 787-8.

British Airways Fleet Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

This aircraft features 8 First Class open suites, 42 flat bed Club World seats, 39 World Traveller Plus seats, and 127 standard Economy Seats.

British Airways’ 747 is an iconic symbol, but the 787-9 showcases their most modern and high-tech first class product.

The seats are much newer, the inflight technology is better, and climate control is superb.

The British Airways 787-9 first class section contains 8 seats spread out across 2 rows in a 1-2-1 arrangement.

Each of the 8 seats is 22″ wide and 73″ when fully lie-flat.

These seat dimensions are 5″-6″ shorter than the 747-400, which is a significant loss.

Airplanes are typically an incredibly dry environment, but the composite material of the 787-9 preserves moisture and creates a more comfortable atmosphere for travelers.

The more intimate cabin size and more comfortable cabin experience make the 787-9 one of British Airways’ best first class products.

British Airways’ 787-9 features business class seats in a 2-3-2 configuration.

There are 7 rows for a total of 42 lie-flat seats, each with direct aisle access.

The seats are 20″ wide and 72″ in pitch/bed length.

There are 39 premium economy seats on the 787-9, with each row configured in a 2-3-2 arrangement.

The relatively small economy section of 127 is configured in a 3-3-3.
