The awards under the PSP will vest at the end of the three-year performance
period (starting with the year of the award) only if the performance of British
Airways satisfies the relevant performance conditions over the single three-year
performance period.  The performance condition relating to one half of the award
measures the Company's total shareholder return ('TSR') against a group of other
airline companies.  The other half of the award is conditional upon achievement
of a satisfactory average annual operating margin over the three-year
performance period.  The scheme and the performance conditions are more fully
described in the Remuneration Report contained in the Annual Report and Accounts
2006/2007 a copy of which can be accessed online at www.bashares.com.

No consideration is payable for the making or vesting of the awards.


Notification is made under Disclosure Rule 3.1.2.
