Boeing says it has now secured 358 orders for the plane, and comes shortly after Airbus threw in the towel on the four-engine A380 superjumbo

LONDON—British Airways parent IAG SA Thursday said it would place a big order for Boeing’s 777-9 jetliner, ending a two-year sales drought for the new long-haul plane.

International Consolidated Airlines Group, as IAG is formally known, said it would place a firm order for 18 Boeing 777-9s and take options for up to 24 more. The deal has a combined value of $18.5 billion at list price before industry standard discounts.
