“We have ordered six Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, and placed options for four more. The B777-300ER is 23 per cent more fuel efficient than the Boeing 747. The aircraft will give us greater flexibility in the longhaul fleet following delays to our Boeing 787 deliveries. We ordered 24 B787s and 12 Airbus A380s, for delivery between 2010 and 2014, to replace some of our oldest aircraft and expand our fleet.”

It has this is to replace some older 744 which are becoming gaz guzelling.
773 on the JFK,LAX,SFO,SIN-SYD,BKK-SYD,NRT,DXB routes i would imagine.
The 744 is not “guzzling” any more fuel per seat than it was last year, or the year before that.
I think the term you mean is “becoming more expensive to operate due to high fuel prices”

I thought BA would be a forerunner in ordering the A380??
