Nigeria: British Airways Says Investments Delivering Benefits

2 December 2012

Just two years into a five-year £5 billion programme of investments, British Airways has already reached some significant milestones, says Chief Executive Keith Williams. He told customers at an event in Lagos that the airline had expanded its network, which now includes new African routes, and was acquiring new aircraft, enhancing products and introducing innovative technology to better serve its customers.

As a result of acquiring bmi, British Airways now serves 19 routes in 16 African countries. It flies more often to more places in Africa than it has ever done since it first opened routes to the continent 80 years ago. The acquisition also enabled it to grow its overall route network, giving customers access to 20 more destinations. British Airways is now operating the biggest Heathrow schedule in its history. Together with its franchise, codeshare and oneworld partners, it offers a global network of over 600 destinations.
