Noticed this pic on Airliners net and was wondering if BA had started substituting 777’s instead of 747’s on the kangaroo route….anyone have any clues???

What about Melbourne??
They’ve dropped MEL, and transferred the route to QF 🙂

BA have been using the 772 on the kanagroo route since late 2006. It is used on the SYD-SIN-LHR route. The 744 is still used on the SYD-BKK-LHR routing.

One of BA’s three daily SYD services is changing from 744 to 772 – this was announced some time ago. Soft yields in the back mean BA can make more money with a higher premium-configured 772 than they can with a 744 which has lots more cheap seats.

Not aware of 777’s being used for this route, however UK government and royalty do charter BA 777’s for official visits overseas, may have been such a special charter?
