British Airways to Target New York, Asia With 12 Superjumbos

British Airways plans to deploy its first Airbus SAS A380 superjumbos on flights to New York and three Asian metropolises while using Boeing Co.’s smaller 787 Dreamliner to develop new destinations in emerging markets.

BA will take delivery of 12 525-seat A380s starting next year and is looking at using the double-deckers on high-density routes from London’s Heathrow airport to Hong Kong, Beijing and Singapore, as well as on its busiest trans-Atlantic service.
