Connecting Britain with the world and the world with Britain

British Airways is a global airline, bringing people, places and diverse cultures closer together for more than 100 years.

Message from Sean Doyle, our CEO and Chairman

British Airways exists today because of you. This is why we want to make every trip you take with us a great experience.

Our entire team is here to provide exceptional service – from our signature warm welcome to ensuring that you arrive at your destination safely.

As the UK’s flag carrier, we have a long track record of attention to sustainability in the world of aviation, focusing on where we believe we can make the biggest impact for our business, our customers and for society – People, Planet and Responsible Business.

BA Better World

Flying is magic – connecting us to our world and bringing people, places and communities closer together.

But we recognise that flying comes at a cost to the environment and we need to take urgent action. At British Airways, we’re working to minimise our impact on the planet and maximise our contribution to society. 

From creating a great place for people to work to reducing our emissions and waste and contributing to the communities we serve to build a thriving, resilient, responsible business. Our actions will help make a more connected world for everyone to live in and we're excited to bring together our people, our customers and our partners to deliver what we believe will be our greatest achievement.
