Cabin retrofit tracker
BA launched Club Suite on the A350-1000 in 2019 and has been retrofitting older widebodies ever since. The A350-1000, 787-10 and 777-300ER fleets are now 100% Club Suite, and the 787-8 retrofit completed in early 2026. The 787-9 programme is the laggard at just 4 of 18, and the A380 retrofit — which also brings a new First cabin — starts mid-2026.
