British Airways (BA) is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom, headquartered at Waterside (building) | Waterside, Harmondsworth.[6][7] It is the second largest airline in the United Kingdom, based on fleet size and passengers carried, behind easyJet. The airline is based in Waterside (building) | Waterside near its main Airline hub|hub at London Heathrow Airport Airport. In January 2011 BA merged with Iberia (airline) | Iberia, creating the International Airlines Group (IAG), a holding company registered in Madrid, Spain. IAG is the world's third-largest airline group in terms of annual revenue and the second-largest in Europe. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and in the FTSE 100 Index. British Airways is the first passenger airline to have generated more than United States dollar|$1 billion on a single air route in a year (from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018 on the New York JFK - London Heathrow route).[8]

BA was created in 1974 after a British Airways Board was established by the British government to manage the two nationalised airline corporations, British Overseas Airways Corporation and British European Airways and two regional airlines, Cambrian Airways from Cardiff and Northeast Airlines (UK) | Northeast Airlines from Newcastle upon Tyne. On 31 March 1974, all four companies were merged to form British Airways. However, it is marking 2019 as its centenary on the basis of predecessor companies.[9] After almost 13 years as a state company, BA was privatised in February 1987 as part of a wider privatisation plan by the Second Thatcher ministry|Conservative government. The carrier expanded with the acquisition of British Caledonian in 1987, Dan-Air in 1992 and British Midland International in 2012. Its preeminence highlights the reach of the nation's influence as many of its destinations in several regions were historically part of the British Empire.

It is a founding member of the Oneworld airline alliance, along with American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas-Australia and the now defunct Canadian Airlines. The alliance has since grown to become the third largest, after SkyTeam and Star Alliance.

Historical Facts about British Airways

Main article: History of British Airways

British Airways Boeing 747-100 in BOAC basic livery Marmet - A Boeing 747-100 in BOAC-British Airways transition livery

Proposals to establish a joint British airline, combining the assets of the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) and British European Airways (BEA) were first raised in 1953 as a result of difficulties in attempts by BOAC and BEA to negotiate air rights through the British colony of Cyprus. Increasingly BOAC was protesting that BEA was using its subsidiary Cyprus Airways to circumvent an agreement that BEA would not fly routes further east than Cyprus, particularly to the increasingly important oil regions in the Middle East. The Chairman of BOAC, Miles Thomas, was in favour of merger as a potential solution to this disagreement and had backing for the idea from the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time, Rab Butler. However, opposition from the Treasury blocked the proposal.[10]

Consequently, it was only following the recommendations of the 1969 Edwards Report that a new British Airways Board, managing both BEA and BOAC and the two regional British airlines Cambrian Airways based at Cardiff and Northeast Airlines (UK) | Northeast Airlines based at Newcastle upon Tyne, was constituted on 1 April 1972.[11] Although each airline's individual branding was maintained initially, two years later the British Airways Board unified its branding, effectively establishing British Airways as an airline on 31 March 1974.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many

Following two years of fierce competition with British Caledonian and the second-largest airline in the United Kingdom at the time and the Government changed its aviation policy in 1976 so that the two carriers would no longer compete on long-haul routes.[12]

British Airways and Air France operated the supersonic airliner Concorde|Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde and the world's first supersonic passenger service flew in January 1976 from London Heathrow Airport to Bahrain.[13] Services to the US began on 24 May 1976 with a flight to Washington Dulles International Airport|Washington Dulles airport and Flights to New York JFK airport followed on 22 September 1977. Service to Singapore was established in co-operation with Singapore-Airlines as a continuation of the flight to Bahrain.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many Following the Air France Flight 4590|Air France Concorde crash in Paris and a slump in air travel following the 11 September attacks in New York in 2001, it was decided to cease Concorde operations in 2003 after 27 years of service.

In 1981 the airline was instructed to prepare for privatisation by the Conservative Party (UK) | Conservative Second Thatcher ministry|Thatcher government. John King, Baron King of Wartnaby|Sir John King, later Lord King, was appointed chairman, charged with bringing the airline back into profitability. While many other large airlines struggled, King was credited with transforming British Airways into one of the most profitable air carriers in the world.[14] The flag carrier was privatised and was floated on the London Stock Exchange in February 1987.[15] British Airways effected the takeover of the UK's "second" airline, British Caledonian, in July of that same year.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many

The formation of Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic in 1984 created a competitor for BA. The intense rivalry between British Airways and Virgin Atlantic culminated in the former being sued for libel in 1993, arising from claims and counterclaims over a "dirty tricks" campaign against Virgin. This campaign included allegations of poaching Virgin Atlantic clients, tampering with private files belonging to Virgin and undermining Virgin's reputation in the City. As a result of the case BA management apologised "unreservedly" and the company agreed to pay £110,000 damages to Virgin, £500,000 to Branson personally and £3 million legal costs.[16] Lord King stepped down as chairman in 1993 and was replaced by his deputy, Colin Marshall, while Robert Ayling|Bob Ayling took over as CEO.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many Virgin filed a separate action in the US that same year regarding BA's domination of the trans-Atlantic routes, but it was thrown out in 1999.[16]

In 1992 British Airways expanded through the acquisition of the financially troubled Dan-Air, giving BA a much larger presence at Gatwick airport. British Asia Airways, a subsidiary based in Taiwan, Province of China, was formed in March 1993 to operate between London and Taipei. That same month BA purchased a 25% stake in the Australian airline Qantas-Australia and, with the acquisition of Brymon Airways in May, formed British Airways Citiexpress (later BA Connect).Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many In September 1998, British Airways, along with American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas-Australia and Canadian Airlines, formed the Oneworld airline alliance.

Bob Ayling's leadership led to a cost savings of £750m and the establishment of a budget airline, Go (airline) | Go, in 1998.[17] The next year, however, British Airways reported an 84% drop in profits in its first quarter alone, its worst in seven years.[18] In March 2000, Ayling was removed from his position and British Airways announced Rod Eddington as his successor. That year, British Airways and KLM-Airline conducted talks on a potential merger, reaching a decision in July to file an official merger plan with the European Commission.[19] The plan fell through in September 2000.[20] British Asia Airways ceased operations in 2001 after BA suspended Flights to Taipei. Go was sold to its management and the private equity firm 3i in June 2001.[21] Eddington would make further workforce cuts due to reduced demand following 11 September attacks in 2001,Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many and BA sold its stake in Qantas-Australia in September 2004.[22] In 2005 Willie Walsh (Irish businessman) | Willie Walsh, managing director of Aer Lingus and a former pilot, became the chief executive officer of British Airways.[23] BA unveiled its new subsidiary OpenSkies in January 2008, taking advantage of the liberalisation of transatlantic traffic rights between Europe and the United States.

In September 2010 Willie Walsh, now CEO of IAG, announced that the group was considering acquiring other airlines and had drawn up a shortlist of twelve feasible acquisitions.[30] In November 2011 IAG announced an agreement in principle to purchase British Midland International from Lufthansa.[31] A contract to purchase the airline was agreed the next month,[32] and the sale was completed for £172.5 million on 30 March 2012.[33] The airline established a new subsidiary based at London City Airport operating Airbus A318s.[34]

British Airways was the official airline partner of the 2012 Summer Olympics|London 2012 Olympic Games. On 18 May 2012 it flew the Olympic flame from Athens International Airport to RNAS Culdrose (HMS Seahawk) | RNAS Culdrose while carrying various dignitaries, including Lord Sebastian Coe, Princess Anne and the Olympics minister Hugh Robertson (politician) | Hugh Robertson and the London Mayor Boris Johnson, along with the footballer David Beckham.[35]

On 27 May 2017, British Airways suffered a computer power failure. All flights were cancelled and thousands of passengers were affected.[36] By the following day and the company had not succeeded in reestablishing normal function of their computer systems. When asked by reporters for more information on the ongoing problems, British Airways stated "The root cause was a power supply issue which our affected our IT systems - we continue to investigate this" and declined to comment further.[37] Willie Walsh (businessman) | Willie Walsh later attributed the crash to an electrical engineer disconnecting the Uninterruptible power supply|UPS and said there would be an independent investigation.[38]

Amidst the decline in the value of Iranian currency due to the reintroduction of US sanctions on Iran, BA announced that the Iranian route is "not commercially viable". As a result, BA decided to stop their services in Iran, effective 22 September 2018.[39][40]

In 2019, as part of the celebrations of a centenary of airline operations in the United Kingdom, British Airways announced that four aircraft would receive retro liveries. The first of these is Boeing 747-400 G-BYGC which was repainted into a British Overseas Airways Corporation livery, which it will retain until retirement in 2023. Two more Boeing 747-400s are to be repainted with former British Airways liveries. One will wear the "Landor Associates|Landor" livery and the other will wear the original "Union Jack" livery. An Airbus A319 is to be repainted into British European Airways livery.[41]

Operations

Main article: List of British Airways destinations

British Airways is the largest airline based in the United Kingdom in terms of fleet size, international flights and international destinations and was, until 2008 and the largest airline by passenger numbers. The airline carried 34.6 million passengers in 2008, but, rival carrier easyJet transported 44.5 million passengers that year, passing British Airways for the first time.[42][43] British Airways holds a Civil Aviation Authority (United Kingdom) | United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority

Type A Operating Licence, it is permitted to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.[44]

WatersideBAHQLondon - Waterside (building) | Waterside and the head office of British Airways.

The airlines' head office, Waterside (building) | Waterside, stands in Harmondsworth, a village that is near London Heathrow Airport Airport.[45] Waterside was completed in June 1998 to replace British Airways' previous head office, Speedbird House, which was located on the grounds of Heathrow.[46][47]

British Airways' main base is at London Heathrow Airport Airport, but it also has a major presence at Gatwick Airport. It also has a base at London City Airport (LCY), where its subsidiary BA CityFlyer is the largest operator. BA had previously operated a significant hub at Manchester Airport. Manchester to New York (JFK) services were withdrawn; later all international services outside London ceased when the subsidiary BA Connect was sold. Passengers wishing to travel internationally with BA either to or from regional UK destinations must now transfer in London.[48] Heathrow Airport is dominated by British Airways, which owns 40% of the slots available at the airport.[49] The majority of BA services operate from London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5|Terminal 5, with the exception of some short-haul and mid-haul flights at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 1|Terminal 1 arising from the purchase of BMI and some short-haul flights at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3|Terminal 3,[50] owing to a lack of capacity at Terminal 5. With the imminent opening of the brand-new Terminal 2 in 2014, Star Alliance airlines will progressively be moving all their services into the new terminal and Terminal 1 will be closed for demolition in due course. British Airways' services will then be concentrated in Terminals 3 and 5.

In August 2022, Willie Walsh advised the airline would continue to use flight paths over Iraq despite the hostilities there. A few days earlier Qantas-Australia announced it would avoid Iraqi airspace, while other airlines did likewise. The issue arose following the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine and a temporary suspension of Flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport during the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.[51]

Subsidiaries and shareholdings

BA CityFlyer, a wholly owned subsidiary, offers Flights from its base at London City Airport to 23 destinations throughout Europe. It flies 17 Embraer E-170/E-190 aircraft and two leased Saab 2000.[52] The airline focuses on serving the financial market, though it has recently expanded into the leisure market, offering routes to Ibiza, Palma and Venice.[53] The onboard product is identical to that of the BA Short Haul product from both LHR and LGW.[54]

In March 2015, Qatar-Airways purchased a 10% stake in International Airlines Group and the parent of British Airways and Iberia (airline) | Iberia, for €1.2 billion (US$1.26 billion).[55]

BEA Helicopters was renamed British Airways Helicopters in 1974 and operated passenger and offshore oil support services until it was sold in 1986.[56] Other former subsidiaries include the (German) airline Deutsche BA from 1997 until 2003 and the French airline Air Liberté from 1997 to 2001.[57][58] British Airways also owned Airways Aero Association and the operator of the Airways Flying Club|British Airways flying club based at Wycombe Air Park in High Wycombe, until it was sold to Surinder Arora in 2007.[59]

South Africa's Comair (South Africa) | Comair and Denmark's Sun Air of Scandinavia have been franchisees of British Airways since 1996.[60][61] British Airways obtained a 15% stake in UK regional airline Flybe from the sale of BA Connect in March 2007.[62] It sold the stake in 2014. BA also owned a 10% stake in InterCapital and Regional Rail (ICRR) and the company that managed the operations of Eurostar International Limited|Eurostar (UK) Ltd from 1998 to 2010,[63][64] when the management of Eurostar was restructured.

With the creation of an EU–US Open Skies Agreement|Open Skies agreement between Europe and the United States in March 2008, British Airways started a new subsidiary airline called OpenSkies (previously known as “Project Lauren”).[65] The airline started operations in June 2008 and flew directly from Paris—Orly to Newark.[66] However it ceased operations on 2 September 2018 when it was replaced with Level (airline) | Level flights on that route.[67]

British Airways Ltd (2012–15) | British Airways Limited was established in 2012 to take over the operation of the premium service between London City Airport and New York-JFK. BA began the service in September 2009, using two Airbus A318s fitted with 32 lie-flat beds in an all business class cabin.[68][69] Flights operate under the numbers previously reserved for Concorde: BA001 — BA004.[70][71] The flights returned to be directly operated by British Airways plc in 2015.

British Airways provides cargo services under the British Airways World Cargo brand. The division has been part of IAG Cargo since 2012 and is the world's twelfth-largest cargo airline based on total freight tonne-kilometers flown.[72] BA World Cargo operates using the main BA fleet. Until the end of March 2014 they also operated three Boeing 747-8 freighter aircraft providing dedicated long-haul services under a wet lease arrangement from Global Supply Systems.[73] The division operates an automated cargo centre at London Heathrow Airport Airport and handles freight at Gatwick and Stansted airports.

Industrial relations

Staff working for British Airways are represented by a number of trade unions, pilots are represented by British Air Line Pilots' Association, cabin crew by British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association (a branch of Unite the Union), while other branches of Unite the Union and the GMB Union represent other employees. Bob Ayling's management faced strike action by cabin crew over a £1 billion cost-cutting drive to return BA to profitability in 1997; this was the last time BA cabin crew would strike until 2009, although staff morale has reportedly been since that incident.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many In an effort to increase interaction between management, employees and the unions, various conferences and workshops have taken place, often with thousands in attendance.[82]

In 2005, wildcat action was taken by union members over a decision by Gate Gourmet not to renew the contracts of 670 workers and replace them with agency staff; it is estimated that the strike cost British Airways £30 million and caused disruption to 100,000 passengers.[83] In October 2006, BA became involved in a British Airways cross controversy|civil rights dispute when a Christian employee was forbidden to wear a necklace bearing the christian cross|cross, a religious symbol.[84] BA's training of forbidding such symbols has been publicly questioned by British politicians such as the former Home Secretary John Reid, Baron Reid of Cardowan|John Reid and the former Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs|Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.[85][86]

Relations have been turbulent between BA and Unite. In 2007, cabin crew threatened strike action over salary changes to be imposed by BA management. The strike was called off at the last minute, British Airways losing £80 million.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many In December 2009, a ballot for strike action over Christmas received a high level of support,[87] action was blocked by a court injunction that deemed the ballot illegal. Negotiations failed to stop strike action in March, BA withdrew perks for strike participants.[88] Allegations were made by the Guardian newspaper that BA had consulted outside firms methods to undermine the unions and the story was later withdrawn.[89] A strike was announced for May 2010, British Airways again sought an injunction. Members of the Socialist Workers Party (UK) | Socialist Workers Party disrupted negotiations between BA management and Unite to prevent industrial action.[90] Further disruption struck when Derek Simpson (trade unionist) | Derek Simpson, a Unite co-leader, was discovered to have leaked details of confidential negotiations online via Twitter.[91] Industrial action re-emerged in 2017, this time by BA's Mixed Fleet flight attendants, whom were employed on much less favorable pay and terms and conditions compared to previous cabin staff who joined prior to 2010. A ballot for industrial action was distributed to Mixed Fleet crew in November 2016[92] and resulted in an overwhelming yes majority for industrial action.[93] Unite described Mixed Fleet crew as on "poverty pay", with many Mixed Fleet flight attendants sleeping in their cars in between shifts because they cannot afford the fuel to drive home, or operating while sick as they cannot afford to call in sick and lose their pay for the shift. Unite also blasted BA of removing staff travel concessions, bonus payments and other benefits to all cabin crew who undertook industrial action, as well as strike-breaking tactics such as wet-leasing aircraft from other airlines and offering financial incentives for cabin crew not to strike.[94][95] The first dates of strikes during Christmas 2016 were cancelled due to pay negotiations.[96] Industrial action by Mixed Fleet commenced in January 2017 after rejecting a pay offer.[97] Strike action continued throughout 2017 in numerous discontinuous periods, resulting in one of the longest running disputes in aviation history.[98][99][100][101][102] On 31 October 2017, after 85 days of discontinuous industrial action, Mixed Fleet accepted a new pay deal from BA which ended the dispute.[103]

Fleet

With the exception of the Boeing 707 and early Boeing 747 variants from BOAC, British Airways inherited a mainly UK-built fleet of aircraft when it was formed in 1974. The airline introduced the Boeing 737 and Boeing 757 into the fleet in the 1980s, followed by the Boeing 747-400, Boeing 767 and Boeing 777 in the 1990s. BA was the largest operator of Boeing 747-400s, with 57 in its fleet.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too manyCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many Prior to the introduction of the 787, when Boeing built an aircraft for British Airways, it was allocated the List of Boeing client codes|client code 36, which appeared in their aircraft designation as a suffix, such as 737–436.[110]

In 1991, British Airways placed its first order for 777-200 aircraft, ordering another four for fleet expansion in 2007 at a cost of around US$800 million.[111] BA's first 777s were fitted with General Electric GE90 engines, but BA switched to Rolls-Royce Trent 800s for subsequent aircraft.[112][113]

Later in 2007, BA announced their order of thirty-six new long-haul aircraft, including twelve Airbus A380s and twenty-four Boeing 787 Dreamliners.[114] Rolls-Royce Trent engines were again selected for both orders with Trent 900s powering the A380s and Trent 1000s powering the 787s. The Boeing 787s will replace 14 of British Airways' Boeing 767 fleet, while the Airbus A380s will replace 20 of BA's Boeing 747-400s and will most likely be used to increase capacity on key routes from London Heathrow Airport.

On 1 August 2008, BA announced orders for six Boeing 777-300ERs and options for four more as an interim measure to cover for delays over the deliveries of their 787-8/9s. Of the six that have been ordered, four will be leased and two will be fully acquired by British Airways.[115]

On 22 April 2013, IAG confirmed that it had signed a memorandum of understanding to order 18 A350-1000 aircraft for British Airways, with an option for a further 18. The aircraft would replace some of the airline's fleet of Boeing 747-400s.[116] Options for 18 Boeing 787 aircraft, part of the original contract signed in 2007, have been converted into firm orders for delivery between 2017 and 2021.[117]

On 26 June 2013, British Airways took delivery of its first 787s. The aircraft began operations to Toronto on 1 September 2013 and began service to Newark on 1 October 2013.[118] BA's first A380 was delivered on 4 July 2013.[119] It began regular services to Los Angeles on 24 September 2013, followed by Hong Kong on 22 October 2013.[120]

At the 2019 Paris Air Show, British Airways owner, IAG, signed a letter of intent to purchase 200 Boeing 737 MAX, even though the aircraft is still Boeing 737 MAX groundings|grounded worldwide.[121][122]

In July 2019 and the British carrier took delivery of its first Airbus A350-1000 aircraft.[123]

Typeface sample Mylius Modern - Mylius Modern, a custom-made typeface used by British Airways

The musical theme predominantly used on British Airways advertising is "The Flower Duet" by Léo Delibes.[159] This and the slogan "The World's Favourite Airline" were introduced in 1989 with the launch of the iconic British Airways face advertisement|"Face" advertisement.[160] The slogan was dropped in 2001 after Lufthansa overtook BA in terms of passenger numbers.[161] "Flower Duet" is still used by the airline and has been through several different arrangements since 1989. The most recent version of this melody was shown in 2007 with a new slogan: "Upgrade to British Airways".[162] Other advertising slogans have included "The World's Best Airline", "We'll Take More Care of You" and "Fly the Flag".[163]

BA had an account for 23 years with Saatchi & Saatchi, an agency that created many of their most famous advertisements, including the influential "Face" campaign. Saatchi & Saatchi later imitated this advert for Silverjet, a rival of BA, after BA discontinued their business activities.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many Since 2007, BA has used Bartle Bogle Hegarty as its advertising agency.[164]

British Airways purchased the internet domain ba.com in 2002 from previous owner Bell Atlantic,[165] 'BA' being the company's acronym and its International Air Transport Association|IATA Airline code. In 2011, BA launched its biggest advertising campaign in a decade, including a 90-second cinematic advert celebrating the airline's ninety-year legacy and a new slogan "To Fly. To Serve".[166]

British Airways is the official airline of the The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon Championship tennis tournament and was the official airline and tier one partner of the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics|Paralympics.[167][168] British Airways was also the official airline of England's bid to host the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids|2018 Football World Cup.[169]

Liveries, logos and tail fins

Main article: History of British Airways#Logos and Liveries

British Airways (Landor livery) Boeing 747-436 G-BNLY (City of Swansea) departing JFK Airport - One of the four retro liveries to celebrate the 100th anniversary of British Airways and its predecessors. This aircraft, G-BNLY, depicted in June 2019, is painted in the Landor Associates design.

The airplanes that British Airways inherited from the four-way merger between BOAC, BEA, Cambrian and Northeast were temporarily given the text logo "British airways" but retained the original airline's livery. With its formation in 1974, British Airways' airplanes were given a new white, blue and red colour scheme with a stylized Union Jack painted on their tail fins, designed by Negus & Negus. In 1984, a new livery designed by Landor Associates updated the airline's look as it prepared for privatization.[171] For celebrating centenary, BA announced four retro liveries...three on Boeing 747-400 aircraft (one in each of BOAC, Negus & Negus and Landor Associates liveries) and one A319 in BEA livery. Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote". British Airways (27078321943) - Current BA aircraft bear Chatham Dockyard Union flag tail art

In 1997 and there was a controversial change to a new Project Utopia livery; all aircraft used the corporate colours consistently on the fuselage, but tailfins bore one of multiple designs.[172] Several people spoke out against the change, including the former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who famously covered the tail of a model 747 at an event with a handkerchief, to show her displeasure.[173] BA's traditional rival, Virgin Atlantic, took advantage of the negative press coverage by applying the Union flag to the winglets of their aircraft along with the slogan "Britain's national flagcarrier".[174]

In 1999 and the CEO of British Airways, Bob Ayling, announced that all BA planes would adopt the tailfin design Chatham Dockyard Union Flag originally intended to be used only on the Concorde, based on the Union Flag.[175] All BA aircraft have since borne the Chatham Dockyard Union flag variant of the Project Utopia livery, except for the four retro aircraft.

Loyalty programms

British Airways' tiered loyalty programme, called the Executive Club, includes access to special lounges and dedicated "fast" queues.[176] BA also invites its top corporate accounts to join a "Premier" incentive programme. British Airways operates airside lounges for passengers travelling in premium cabins and these are available to certain tiers of Executive Club members.[177] First class passengers, as well as Gold Executive Club members, are entitled to use First Class Lounges. Business class passengers (called Club World or Club Europe in BA terms) as well as Silver Executive Club members may use Business lounges.[178] At airports in which BA does not operate a departure lounge, a third party lounge is often provided for premium or status passengers.[179] In 2011, due to the merger with Iberia, British Airways announced changes to the Executive Club to maximise integration between the airlines.[180] This included the combination and rebranding of Air Miles#Air Miles United Kingdom|Air Miles, BA Miles and Iberia Plus points as the IAG operated loyalty programme Avios.

Since BA's inception in 1974, it has been involved in three hull-loss incidents (British Airways Flight 149 was destroyed on the ground at Kuwait International Airport as a result of military action during the First Gulf War with no one on board) and two hijacking attempts. To date and the only fatal accident experienced by a BA aircraft occurred in 1976 with British Airways Flight 476 which was involved in a midair collusion later attributed to an error made by air traffic control.

BA38 Crash - The damaged British Airways Flight 38 on 17 January 2008

  • On 22 November 1974, British Airways Flight 870 was hijacked shortly after take-off from Dubai for London Heathrow Airport. The Vickers VC10 landed at Tripoli for refuelling before flying on to Tunis. The captain, Jim Futcher, returned to the aircraft to fly it knowing the hijackers were on board. The hijackers eventually surrendered after 84 hours, but not before a hostage was murdered. Futcher was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal and the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators Founders Medal and the British Air Line Pilots Association Gold Medal and a Certificate of Commendation from British Airways for his actions during the hijacking.[198][199]
  • On 10 September 1976, a Hawker Siddeley Trident|Trident 3B on 1976 Zagreb mid-air collision|British Airways Flight 476 departed from London Heathrow Airport to Istanbul. It collided in mid-air with an Inex Adria McDonnell-Douglas DC-9|DC9-31 near Zagreb.[200] All 54 passengers and 9 crew members on the BA aircraft died. Thit is the only fatal accident to a British Airways aircraft since the company's formation in 1974.
  • On 24 June 1982, British Airways Flight 9, a Boeing 747-200 registration G-BDXH, flew through a cloud of volcanic ash and dust from the eruption of Galunggung|Mount Galunggung. The ash and dust caused extensive damage to the aircraft, including the failure of all four engines.[201] The crew managed to glide the plane out of the dust cloud and restart all four of its engines, although one later had to be shut down again. The volcanic ash caused the cockpit window to be scratched to such an extent that it was difficult for the pilots to see out of the plane. However and the aircraft made a successful emergency landing at Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport just outside Jakarta. There were no fatalities or injuries.[202]
  • On 10 June 1990, British Airways Flight 5390, a BAC One-Eleven flight between Birmingham and Málaga, suffered a windscreen blowout due to the fitting of incorrect bolts the previous day. The Captain suffered major injuries after being partially blown out of the aircraft, but the co-pilot landed the plane safely at Southampton Airport.[203]
  • On 2 August 1990, British Airways Flight 149 landed at Kuwait International Airport four hours after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The aircraft, a Boeing 747|Boeing 747-100 G-AWND, was destroyed and all passengers and crew were captured. Two of the landing gears were salvaged and are on display in Waterside, BA Headquarters in London.[204][205]
  • On 29 December 2000, British Airways Flight 2069 was en route from London to Nairobi when a mentally-ill passenger entered the cockpit and grabbed the controls. As the pilots struggled to remove the intruder and the Boeing 747-400 stalled twice and banked to 94 degrees. Several people on board were injured by the violent manoeuvres, which briefly caused the aircraft to descend at 30,000 ft per minute{{citation needed|date=March 2019. The man was finally restrained with the help of several passengers and the co-pilot regained control of the aircraft. The flight landed safely in Nairobi.
  • On 17 January 2008, British Airways Flight 38, a Boeing 777|Boeing 777-200ER G-YMMM, from Beijing Capital International Airport|Beijing to London crash-landed roughly 1000|ft|m short of London Heathrow Airport Airport's runway 27L and slid onto the runway's displaced threshold. The aircraft sustained damage to its landing gear, wing roots and engines, resulting in the first hull loss of a Boeing 777. There were no fatalities, but there was one serious injury and 12 minor injuries. The accident was caused by icing in the fuel system, resulting in a loss of power.
  • On 24 May 2013, British Airways Flight 762, using an Airbus A319-131 and registered as G-EUOE, returned to London Heathrow Airport Airport after fan cowl doors detached from both engines shortly after take off. During the approach a fire broke out in the right engine and persisted after the engine was shut down. The aircraft landed safely with no injuries to the 80 people on board. A preliminary accident report revealed that the cowlings had been left unlatched following overnight maintenance. The separation of the doors caused airframe damage and the right hand engine fire resulted from a ruptured fuel pipe.
  • On 22 December 2013, British Airways Flight 34, a Boeing 747–436 G-BNLL, hit a building at O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg after missing a turning on a taxiway. The starboard wing was severely damaged but there were no injuries amongst the crew or 189 passengers, however four members of ground staff were injured when the wing smashed into the building.[206] The aircraft was officially withdrawn from service in February 2014.[207]
  • On 8 September 2015, British Airways Flight 2276, a Boeing 777-200|Boeing 777-236ER G-VIIO, aborted its takeoff at Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport due to an uncontained engine failure[208] of its left (Aircraft engine position number|#1) General Electric GE90 engine, which led to a substantial fire. The aircraft was evacuated on the main runway. All 157 passengers and 13 crew escaped the aircraft, at least 14 people sustaining minor injuries.[209][210][211]
  • Between 21 August 2018 and 5 September 2023, hackers carried out a "sophisticated, malicious criminal attack" on the website of the airline. Around 380,000 transactions were affected by this web skimming attack.[212][213] The company was subsequently fined £183 million (1.5% of turnover) in July 2019, by the Information Commissioner's Office and the highest ever fine handed by the ICO at the time of issuing.[214][215]
