British Airways

British Airways has announced the launch of a new service between London Heathrow and Cincinnati Northern Kentucky. The service will operate five times a week from 5 June. It will be increased to four weekly flights in winter. The route will be operated by a Boeing 787-8 three-class aircraft. This will be the US airport's second service to Europe....

Both the major hotel groups and the main airlines can be delighted with the results presented for the third quarter of the year. The period was buoyed by leisure customers, and in particular the welcome upturn in long-haul travel, but also by a traditionally busy September for business travellers. The Accor group explains...

British Airways and Qatar Airways have just completed their ambitious global partnership. A partnership that allows the two carriers to pool the vast majority of their network. And to offer connections on what both describe as "the world's greatest connectivity between countries". The two carriers now offer...

The restrictions on passenger numbers - and therefore flights - continue at Heathrow airport. On 15 August, London's busiest airport informed airlines that it would have to extend its capacity ceiling until the end of October. Since June, the airport has been limiting the maximum number of passengers to 100,000. This...

Radical though it may be, the measure is a logical follow-up to the events of recent weeks in British skies and, above all, on the ground at the country's main airport. British Airways has decided to simply stop selling its short-haul flights at Heathrow airport, as reported by the...

The practice will go down in history as the big innovation of summer 2022. And it's not something that passengers are happy about. Bogged down by staff shortages both in their own companies and at airports, European and American airlines have turned to the technique of "Hate Selling" (....).

8,000 flights: that's roughly the number of frequencies that British Airways decided to cancel between March and October. This reduction in the number of flights is linked to the fact that the airline is understaffed, having not sufficiently anticipated the upturn in traffic since the start of the year. With the Covid pandemic,...

"What I'm doing is making a personal commitment to you to build a better British Airways. An airline you can trust with excellent customer service. With someone always on hand to help. Most importantly, an airline you'll be proud to fly,...

The reopening of the United States to European travellers in 2022 should generate a strong flow of traffic between the two continents. This is the gamble being taken by most of the airlines serving this strategic route. This is particularly true of British Airways. The British carrier operates its transatlantic routes as part of a joint venture,...

London-Gatwick, the British capital's second airport with over 46 million passengers in 2019, has always been associated with the national carrier British Airways. Even though since the 2000s the British carrier has gradually lost ground to its low-cost rival easyJet, it has remained a structuring element of the hub...

British Airways has considerably reduced its presence at London's second airport, Gatwick, in recent years. The airline now operates only a few long-haul flights, mainly to leisure destinations. But it nevertheless wants to return to the South London hub as restrictions are gradually lifted, and to define a strategy for...

Uncertainty: this is probably one of the business traveller's worst enemies when it's time to head for the airport. And given the complexity and constant evolution of the current international regulatory context, it's hard to imagine anyone who can avoid this uncertainty before a business trip. A recent GBTA study noted...

A few drops of saliva, a result in less than a minute: travellers tired of nasopharyngeal tests and the long wait for results could find a less daunting solution to prove that they are negative for Covid-19. British Airways is currently evaluating a technological alternative designed by Canary Global, the Pelican Covid-19 test...

While the former CEO of British Airways, Willi Walsh, wanted to keep the base at Gatwick, London's second largest airport after Heathrow, the airline's new CEO, Sean Doyle, now wants to reduce the British airline's presence. The aim is to attract more high-cost passengers from all over Europe to its hub...

Air transport is one of the most fragmented industries on the planet. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) lists nearly 800 airlines worldwide. This is a staggering figure when compared with the automotive industry, a highly concentrated sector with 90 % of the market share in the...

British Airways' new recruit, Bill, will make his debut at London Heathrow airport in early 2020. This autonomous robot, equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), a geolocation system and 360-degree sensors, will roam around Terminal 5, guiding travellers to their final destination...

Business travel to and from the UK is being disrupted this Monday by strike action instigated by the pilots' union, BALPA (British Airline Pilots Association): a first in the history of the airline, which celebrated its 100th anniversary at the end of August... British Airways traffic is...

Just 20 years ago, we could never have imagined that Europe's skies would be so competitive, a commercial war that has resulted in a plethora of services on offer. On the Paris-Rome route, for example, business travellers can choose between no fewer than five airlines: traditional carriers such as Air France and Alitalia, of course...

After being a pioneer in business class and high-contribution passenger services, British Airways had stalled in the face of competition, particularly from the Gulf. Now it is back with a product that should live up to all its promises to high-contribution customers. The new "Club Suite" class will distinguish itself from the current business class....

6.5 billion pounds, or 7.4 billion euros: that's how much British Airways has been spending over the past year on renovating its travel products, a transformation which began last year. From 1 February, passengers in Premium Economy will benefit from new menus exclusive to new products. Up until now, the...
