Key Takeaways
In 2024, British Airways increased flights operated by 4% compared to the previous year, despite a challenging operational backdrop of engine supply and MRO issues.
New routes were added by BA, but some were also dropped, resulting in a similar count of routes as the previous year.
The significance of the US market for British Airways is evident, as the airline dedicates around 6 million seats annually to this key market, which is known to be a major source of profit to the airline.
With capacity constrained at British Airways’ two major bases - Heathrow and Gatwick - the airline will be closely monitoring airport expansion plans in the London market, expected to be announced in the first half of 2025.
