British Airways has scheduled its Boeing 787 Dreamliners for some more short hops in June, though the airline won’t operate as many flights as in previous months. The British flag carrier has scheduled just three rotations with a widebody jet on the route from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) during the latter part of the month.
When one thinks of widebodies, they typically think of faraway destinations after long flights. We’ve seen narrowbody aircraft operating longer flights more recently, while some widebodies have been operating shorter hops. British Airways is no stranger to shorter widebody hops, typically substituting aircraft to meet the needs of its sister company, IAG Cargo.
