This will actually be a decrease in the number of available BA seats in that they are stopping their 777-200 five day per week flights indicating they have had lots of empty spaces on their 747-400 and 777-200ER service. Once summer is over it will be interesting to see with what they replace the 380 LHR-YVR for it will give an indication of their load factors.
BAW do not use the 777-200 on this route, Its a 744 all year round, Increasing to twice daily during the summer months, It will be nice to see a new aircraft still.
They use both....747-400 daily and the 777-200 seasonally five days per week although you are right for at the moment they are using a 747-400 for the second flight.
Not sure where you get your Information from John, YVR is my local airport and I have been monitoring all flights In and out of YVR on my SBS radarbox for years, we do not get any BAW 777's here.
Reading the published schedule from SkyGuide. Shows six Air Transat five days weekly at a variety of times, one Air Canada flight daily with a 777, BA 84 with a 747 and BA 86 daily except Tuesday and Wednesday with a 747. The article suggested they were using 777-200s when you correctly observed they were not using them as stated.
