Why British Airways?
We’re the nation’s flag carrier, the airline that connects Britain with the world and the world with Britain.
It’s something we’ve been doing for over 100 years, ever since we launched the world’s first international scheduled air service between London and Paris in 1919.
Being able to stand proudly at the pinnacle of the aviation industry throughout our history is down to one thing: our people.
We know great things can happen when you’re inspired to think big and bring your ambition to work every day.
