British Airways has completed a makeover of 18 of its Boeing 747s to give them the same feel as its new aircraft.
An additional 16 Club World seats were also installed on each ‘jumbo’ as part of the refurbishment, which included a new entertainment system.
Troy Warfield, BA’s director of customer experience, said: "We have recently taken delivery of our 12th A380 ‘super jumbo’ and have now have 13 Dreamliners in our fleet, however the iconic Boeing 747s remain an important part of our fleet, that many of our customers love.
"Our engineers have made these amazing aircraft look and feel like new, with enhanced comfort, cutting edge technology and cool, clean design."
New carpets, seat covers and mood lighting have been fitted throughout each aircraft to match BA’s new A380 and 787s, including new seat foams and new-style seat covers in World Traveller and World Traveller Plus.
As part of the upgrade, World Traveller Plus seats now have a universal power and USB sockets.
The revamped jumbos operate on selected flights to New York JFK, Chicago, Johannesburg, Dubai, Boston, Riyadh, Kuwait, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and Washington DC.
