Overview

A member of the royal family of European airlines, British Airways (BA) serves about 150 destinations in some 75 countries from hubs at London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The carrier operates a fleet of more than 240 aircraft, consisting mainly of Airbus and Boeing jets.

Among Europe's flag carriers, BA is outranked only by the combined Air France-KLM and by Lufthansa. In November 2009 BA agreed to merge with Iberia, Spain's #1 airline.
