British Airways 'Better World' A320 Neo Livery.
16UK flag carrier British Airways has revealed a special blue livery for one of its Airbus A320neo aircraft. The airline displayed the freshly-painted narrowbody at its Heathrow base, at the launch of its ‘BA Better World’ sustainability program. With this scheme, BA is looking to lead the way in terms of creating a more sustainable airline industry.
The plane on which British Airways has chosen to showcase its special ‘BA Better World’ livery is an Airbus A320neo that bears the registration G-TTNA. According to data from ch-aviation.com, this is one of 15 A320neos in the BA fleet. The oneworld founding member also has a further seven on order. These 180-seat twinjets have an average age of 2.3 years.
However, G-TTNA is a little more senior, at just shy of three and a half years old. As it happens, it was the maiden A320neo to join BA’s fleet, doing so on April 10th, 2018. With it being the first to fly for the UK flag carrier, it makes an apt choice for the special livery.
BA will use a blend of SAF and traditional jet fuel, resulting in an 80% reduction in emissions.
