Economy seats cut
88 per aircraft

British Airways is keeping its double-decker superjumbos in the skies, but the layout inside is about to shift.

The carrier is preparing to retrofit its entire Airbus A380 fleet, removing 88 economy seats from every aircraft. In their place, BA plans to introduce a more modern premium configuration, dedicating greater space across the superjumbos to premium travellers.
