British Airways is trimming overall capacity on its largest jets. The airline is removing 52 seats from its Airbus A380s, trading raw passenger volume for higher-value space.

Shedding dozens of seats from a double-decker fleet marks a clear pivot toward yield over sheer density. Rather than filling every available square foot with passenger numbers, the carrier is actively configuring its superjumbos to capture more valuable bookings across the cabin.
