British Airways unveils new cabins for its A380s.
-------------------------------------------------

On 5 October, British Airways showed the cabins for its refurbished A380s. It expected the first aircraft back in service within months.

### Check whether engine work can fit the refit.

Ask BA Engineering which aircraft are scheduled first. Compare those dates with planned engine checks before reserving people or parts.

**Suggested owner** · account director

**Assumed priority** · Plan engine support around the dates British Airways needs its A380s back in service.

### The big picture

The cabin refit gives the engine support team a reason to call British Airways. The decision is whether a scheduled engine check could fit into time an aircraft will already spend on the ground.

### Why it could matter to Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce supplied the Trent 900 engines for these aircraft and agreed long-term support with British Airways. Time on the ground for cabin work gives the account team a reason to ask whether any planned engine work could share that window.

### When to revisit

If a named aircraft is due an engine check during its cabin refit, ask BA Engineering to assess a joint schedule. Until the dates overlap, keep the existing maintenance plan.

### What the source leaves open

The announcement gives no engine maintenance dates and commits no additional work to Rolls-Royce.
