The Trouble With British Airways?
Free Catch-Up: Watch Dispatches Again
It was once "the world's favourite airline", but Dispatches asks if the sun is setting on another great British institution.
Statistics volunteered by airlines reveal British Airways has mislaid more bags per passenger than any of its major European rivals since 2006. In the past 18 months BA has been caught price-fixing and suffered a disastrous opening to Terminal 5 at Heathrow.
