Accessibility commitment 

British Airways is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to provide inclusive, usable, and accessible digital services across all customer experiences. 

Scope of this statement 

This accessibility statement applies to our core products:

• The ba.com website  
• British Airways iOS and Android apps 

WCAG 2.2 AA

We assess our services against WCAG 2.2 AA.  Our approach aligns with recognised international standards that underpin accessibility regulations around the world, including EN 301 549 in the EU and Section 508 in the United States.

The ba.com website is currently in the process of transitioning to a new platform. All areas of the new ba.com website has been built to meet the needs of our disabled customers and the standards set out in WCAG 2.2 AA. 

There are some parts of ba.com that have yet to move from the legacy platform to our new platform. Some of the pages and features that have not yet transitioned to the new platform may not currently  meet the standards set out in WCAG 2.2. AA.   

As part of our transformation programme we are moving functions of ba.com from our legacy platform to our new platform. While we have worked to improve the accessibility standards on our legacy platform, an inclusive approach has been taken to the transition to our new platform.

• Supporting all teams with training, documentation, focused and ad hoc support and expert guidance from partner agency GAIN
