BA HERITAGE

British Airways started off as Aircraft Transport and Travel in 1919. Soon after their collaboration with Qantas to launch the first flight to Australia and with the acquiring of more aircraft, British Airways Limited was created. This was a merger between Imperial Airways and the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). After World War II, with more transatlantic flights, another airline was also created, known as the British European Airways (BEA). British Airways has continues growth, incorporating newer and more sophisticated aircraft as well as running the Concorde since 1979.
