Scheduled to enter service in 1979, British Airways -500 TriStars will be the first of this variant in operation and will be used on the airline's longer routes (up to 5,260 n miles). They will be suitable for such sectors as London-Los Angeles, Sydney-Hong Kong and New York-Buenos Aires, carrying 246 passengers. The -500 has been designed to take advantage of a high degree of commonality with earlier TriStar models and from a maintenance standpoint, 95 per cent of the air-frame spares and 100 per cent of the engine spares are the same as the -200 Series.
