British Airways and its parent the International Airline Group (IAG) have signed a memorandum of understanding to purchase 18 Airbus A350-1000s (plus 18 options). In addition IAG, which also owns Iberia, also secured commercial terms and delivery slots that could allow for firm orders for the Spanish flag carrier. Willie Walsh, IAG Chief Executive said: 'The A350-1000 will bring many benefits to our fleet. Its size and range will be an excellent fit for our existing network and, with lower unit costs, there is an opportunity to operate a new range of destinations profitably. This will not only bring greater flexibility to our network but also more choice for our customer."
