visit from British Airway's newest addition to its fleet. On Friday evening, the 25th Boeing 777 owned by BA touched down at Kindley Field, sporting the latest tail fin design -- the first flight by the aircraft which had been delivered that morning.

"It is a vital part of our global strategy as we change our fleet and network structure to compete in de-regulayed markets.'' The 777 is the regular aircraft on the London to Bermuda route, and by 2002 almost half of BA's fleet will be 777s.
