Information about British Airways
The airline's base is at Waterside, close to its Heathrow Airport hub. British Airways was founded in March 1974 following the dissolution of the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) and British European Airways (BEA). BA quickly established itself as a world leader at a time when air travel was suddenly more accessible. As more passengers chose British Airways flights, the airline expanded its operations. Notable landmarks in the brand's history include Concorde, the world's first supersonic plane in partnership with Air France and the acquisition of other airlines such as British Caledonian. BA owns 40% of the slots at Heathrow Airport and also has a strong presence at Gatwick Airport and at London City Airport. Following the sale of BA Connect, the airline made Heathrow the only departure point for international flights. Those wishing to travel from other parts of the country must start their air journey at Heathrow or transfer from one of the UK's regional airports.

British Airways (BA/BAW)
British Airways is the United Kingdom's flag carrier and the country's largest airline in terms of fleet size. While BA, as it is often known, may have more planes, EasyJet is the UK's largest carrier based on passenger numbers. However, BA has never marketed itself as an economy option; instead, the airline provides its passengers with excellent service and a massive choice of worldwide destinations. British Airways flights are the first choice for business travellers and those who want comfortable cabins and seats for both short and long journeys.
