British Airways has been a pioneer in the skies for over a century, connecting Britain to the globe and the globe to Britain. We were the first to launch a scheduled international air service, flying between London and Paris. We then broke records with Concorde, the fastest transatlantic flight, and introduced the first fully lie-flat seats on board.
These groundbreaking achievements were made possible by our exceptional engineering teams, who are now at the forefront of a new era of innovation.
