British Airways

Albert Stanley · 1919

British Airways is the UK’s flag carrier, formed by state merger in 1974, privatised in 1987, and folded into IAG in 2011. It is the largest UK airline by fleet and international reach. It was the first passenger airline to earn over $1 billion on a single route in a year. It has a documented reputation for poor staff conduct, arbitrary service changes, and refusing compensation claims.
