TRAFFIC AND CAPACITY STATISTICS - June 2007


Summary of the headline figures


In June 2007, passenger capacity, measured in Available Seat Kilometres, was 0.4
per cent above June 2006.  Traffic, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres,
was lower by 1.4 per cent.  This resulted in a passenger load factor down 1.4
points versus last year, to 80.5 per cent.  The decrease in traffic comprised a
1.4 per cent increase in premium traffic and a 1.9 per cent decrease in
non-premium traffic.


Cargo, measured in Cargo Tonne Kilometres, fell by 1.5 per cent.   Overall load
factor rose 0.4 points to 73.8 per cent.


Premium traffic volumes remained strong, showing a 1.4% increase on a base up
11.7% in the previous year.  Non-premium traffic continued to show some
comparative weakness on the North Atlantic and in shorthaul domestic, with
overall volumes down 1.9% against a 5.7% increase in the previous year.


For the April to June quarter, ASKs rose by 0.3 per cent, with RPKs down by 1.9
per cent.  This resulted in a decrease in passenger load factor of 1.8 points,
to 76.8 per cent.  This comprised a 0.1 per cent increase in premium traffic and
a 2.3 per cent decrease in non-premium traffic.  CTKs fell by 2.9 per cent.


Market conditions


Market conditions are broadly unchanged.  However, it is too early to assess the
impact of the latest security measures at UK airports on forward bookings.


Revenue and costs


The US dollar to Sterling exchange rate is some nine per cent weaker in quarter
one this year versus last year.  Whilst this is not helpful to revenue, it is
having a positive impact on costs.


Strategic Developments


British Airways joined the new cross industry environmental lobby group called
Flying Matters. The group will seek to rebalance the debate about aviation's
impact on climate change.


Credit rating agency, Standard and Poor's upgraded British Airways corporate
credit rating to investment grade. The company was downgraded to sub-investment
grade or junk status in July 2003 following the events of September 11, 2001 and
the war in Iraq. During that period the company has reduced its net debt from
£6.6bn to £990m and steadily increased its operating margin.


British Airways has confirmed that its flights to Dallas Fort Worth and Houston
will move from Gatwick to Heathrow from March 30, 2008 when the 'Open Skies'
aviation agreement starts.  There will be a daily flight to Dallas Fort Worth
and two flights each day to Houston, all of which will be operated on Boeing
777s.
