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. BA extends its network via code-sharing relationships, chiefly with AMR's American Airlines and other members of the Oneworld global marketing alliance, such as Iberia and Qantas. (Code-sharing allows airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus offer passengers additional destinations.) Among Europe's flag carriers, BA is outranked only by the combined Air France-KLM and by Deutsche Lufthansa.
