British Airways can trace its origins back to the birth of civil aviation, the pioneering days following World War I. In the 90 years that have passed since the world's first schedule air service on 25 August 1919, air travel has changed beyond all recognition.

The airline is now a full service global airline, offering year-round low fares with an extensive global route network flying to and from centrally-located airports.
