Our first flight departed from London to New York, on 22nd June 1984. By the end of the 80's, we had flown over 1 million passengers and started shaking up services onboard by being the first airline to offer individual TVs to their business class passengers.

In the 90's, we launched the first super economy service that went on to become our award winning Premium Economy cabin. We also brought lots of new planes, expanding our route network and generally breaking new ground in passenger service, both on the ground and in the air.

And the naughties - well let's start off with our revolutionary Upper Class Suite, one of the longest and most comfortable flat beds and seat in business class in 2003, followed by our flagship Heathrow Clubhouse in 2006 and brand new check in facilities at Heathrow Terminal 3 in 2007.

In 2008 we operated the world's first flight using biofuel by a commercial airline and this year, we celebrated our 25th Birthday.
