Tribute to British Airways

Tribute to ' The Worlds Favourite Airlines' or ' Fly the Flag loose you Bag' airlines. Hope you enjoy.

British Airways plc (LSE: BAY) is the national flag carrier of the United Kingdom. The airline, headquartered in Waterside, Harmondsworth, in the London Borough of Hillingdon, [1] is the largest airline in the United Kingdom based on fleet size, international flights and international destinations. Its main hubs are London Heathrow Airport and London Gatwick Airport. British Airways has discontinued all direct overseas flights from UK airports other than Heathrow and Gatwick (and London City Airport from September 2009). BA's UK passengers originating at non-London airports must now connect via London or use other airlines with direct services.[2]

The British Airways Group was formed on 1 September 1974 through nationalisation by the (then) Labour Government. BA was formed from two large London-based airlines, BOAC and BEA, and two much smaller regional airlines, Cambrian Airways Cardiff and Northeast Airlines Newcastle upon Tyne. All four companies were dissolved on 31 March 1974 to form British Airways (BA) and almost thirteen years later, in February 1987, the company was privatised. The carrier soon expanded with the acquisition of British Caledonian in 1988 and Gatwick-based carrier Dan-Air in 1992. Despite being a primarily Boeing customer, British Airways placed a major order for Airbus aircraft in November 1998 with the purchase of 89 A320 Family aircraft. In 2007, the carrier placed its next major order, marking the start of its long haul fleet replacement, ordering Airbus A380s and Boeing 787s. The centrepiece of the airline's long haul fleet is the Boeing 747-400; with 55 examples, British Airways is the largest operator of the type in the world.
