British Airways Plc, aka BA, is the leading airline in the United Kingdom, and naturally one of the biggest in the world. Based at Heathrow and Gatwick, London, it manages almost 300 planes and 216 destinations in 94 countries. In addition, BA has holdings in other airlines, such as the Australian, Quantas, and the Spanish Iberia. With its sights set on the international scene, a key to success today, BA recently signed a partnership with the world giant, American Airlines, and with other companies of various sizes, such as Cathay Pacific Airways and Finnair. The alliance thus created is called Oneworld. It aims to be a transnational airline. Aware of the new technologies, and of the need to develop to maintain its position, BA has also set up a highly-developed Internet site, offering a variety of services: on-line reservations, flight times and tourist city guides.
