British Airways is ordering 32 new long-haul aircraft from Boeing in a deal worth nearly $13 billion, the airline's parent company, International Airlines Group confirmed Friday.

For British Airways, the expansion of its long-haul fleet at a time of economic turmoil amounts to a vote of confidence in the enduring health of business demand and UK-US travel.
