British Airways this month began operating flights with the first new long-haul aircraft to be brought into its fleet in eight years.
The airline took delivery of the new Boeing 777-200ER earlier this year and prepared the plane for service at the British Airways Maintenance Cardiff (BAMC) centre at Cardiff airport.
Engineers installed inflight entertainment systems and British Airways" World Traveller and Club World products, allowing the aircraft to begin operating flights to Washington this month.
Garry Copeland, the airline"s director of engineering, said: "Our engineers in Cardiff have done a fantastic job in preparing the new aircraft for service. These were some of the most complex modifications ever carried out at BAMC but once again they have risen to the challenge.
"Their work will help us to continue to deliver the high levels of customer service our customers expect."
The new plane is one of four Boeing 777-200 aircraft that British Airways will receive this year.
In addition to its fleet expansion, the airline will be extending its route network in 2009 with new flights to Las Vegas, Jamaica, Sharm el Sheikh and other destinations.
