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 20
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 awards under the DSP are subject to a three-year
deferral period.  Both schemes and the PSP performance conditions are more fully
described in the Remuneration Report contained in the Annual Report and Accounts
2005/2006 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 section 324 Companies Act 1985 and Disclosure Rule
3.1.2.

Company Secretary
