British Airways, a major Boeing Co. customer, is considering replacing its fleet of 35 Boeing 737-200 jetliners with the company's proposed 150-seat 7J7. The London-based airline may be one of the first customers for the new jet, said Colin Marshall, president. He was here yesterday to review Boeing's plans and timing for the new jet and to talk about potential orders for other Boeing jets.

American said two of the models -- the Boeing 7J7 and the McDonnell Douglas MD-91/92 -- exist only in design. Each would use new propfan engines, which are powered by high-speed propellers and are significantly more fuel efficient than current jet engines. American said it is studying "stretch" versions of the aircraft, which would carry 15 to 25 more passengers than the 150-passenger Boeing 727, because it believes air traffic constraints may eventually force the industry to fly fewer planes.
