CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Group Performance
Group profit before tax for the three months ended September 30, 2000
was £200 million -- up £160 million on last year.
The improvement reflected a higher mix of premium passengers and better
average fares, combined with continued cost efficiencies. Mainline
yields were up on a year ago for the fourth successive quarter. Unit
costs increased less than one percent, and productivity improved 3.1%.
Operating profit more than doubled to £264 million, despite the impact
of higher fuel prices and the suspension of Concorde services;
operating margin increased by 5.5 points to 10.3%.
Group profit before tax for the six months to September 30 was £150
million; operating profit -- at £361 million -- was up 71% on a year
ago.
An interim dividend of 5.1 pence per share has been declared, unchanged
from last year. The dividend will be payable to shareholders on the
register at November 17.
Turnover
Group turnover for the three months was up 5.8% -- at £2,552 million --
on a flying programme 4.5% smaller. Mainline passenger yields were up
8.7%. In line with our strategy, we continued to grow point-to-point
business faster than transfer, premium faster than non-premium, and
longhaul faster than shorthaul. Premium traffic grew 7.2%; non premium
declined 1%.
For the six month period, turnover grew by 4.9% to £4,862 million on a
flying programme 3.3% smaller.
In the three month period, Cargo revenue increased by 4.8% compared
with last year, on tonnage 6.3% higher.
Unit Costs
Unit costs for the three months were 0.8% higher than the same quarter
last year. But for the increase in fuel prices they would have fallen,
despite the upward pressure caused by the reduction in Available Tonne
Kilometres (ATKs). Cost efficiencies more than offset cost increases
in respect of wage and supplier prices, adverse exchange rate changes
and added product costs.
Productivity for the quarter (as measured by ATKs per manpower
equivalent) rose by 3.1% year over year.
Non Operating Items
Income from associates, primarily our share of Qantas's results, for
the three months to September 30, was £28 million -- almost flat year
over year.
Losses on disposals of fixed assets and investments for the three
months were £9 million, chiefly reflecting the scrapping of obsolete
engine modifications. In the same period last year, profits on
disposals of £14 million were made.
For the six month period, losses on disposal were £67 million and
included a £56 million book loss on the disposal of Air Liberte, but
this was after crediting shareholders' reserves with £173 million of
goodwill written off in earlier years. A small profit on the disposal
of our 14% trade investment in Hogg Robinson was also made. Last
year's profit included £149 million from the disposal of our remaining
shares in Galileo International.
Net interest expense for the quarter was lower than last year, mainly
because book charges for the revaluation of yen debts (used to fund
aircraft acquisitions) were £55 million lower. The revaluation -- a non
cash item required by standard accounting practice -- results from the
strengthening of the yen against sterling. Last year the second
quarter charge was £62 million.
Earnings Per Share
For the three month period, the profit attributable to shareholders was
£192 million, equivalent to 17.9 pence per share, compared with
earnings of 2.8 pence last year.
For the six month period, the profit attributable to shareholders was
£133 million, equivalent to 12.4 pence per share, compared with
earnings of 20.3 pence last year.
Net Debt / Total Capital Ratio
Borrowings, net of cash and short term loans and deposits, fell to
£5,724 million at September 30, 2000 - down £192 million since March
31, 2000 -- due primarily to the improved operating performance and
the normal seasonal increase in cash balances. This reduction lowered
the net debt/total capital ratio by 2.4 points to 61.5%.
Shareholders' funds increased because of the retained profit for the
period and the write back of goodwill on the Air Liberte disposal.
Aircraft Fleet
In the quarter ending September 30, 2000 the fleet in service reduced
by 3 aircraft to 334.
This included additions of 4 Airbus A319, 2 Boeing 737-500s and 2
Embraer RJ145. Disposals included 3 Boeing 767-300, 3 Boeing 757-200, 4
Boeing 737-200 and 1 ATR 42 operated by CityFlyer Express.
Concorde services are currently suspended following the Air France
accident on July 25. We remain confident that the Civil Aviation
Authority in the UK will re-issue the certificate of airworthiness;
services will resume as soon as possible.
In early October we announced that further rationalisation of our
winter 2000 and summer 2001 flying programmes would enable us
eventually to dispose of four 747-400 aircraft.
Subsidiaries and Associates
Following the successful establishment of Go as a leading no-frills
airline in Europe, BA intends to realise the value created and offer
the subsidiary for sale.
Effective April 1, 2000 Air Liberte was sold to Taitbout Antibes for
net proceeds of £30 million.
Alliance Development
In late September we announced the decision to terminate talks with
KLM. We had made considerable progress but always recognised that this
was a complex proposal, involving not only commercial and economic
issues, but aeropolitical, regulatory and other matters. It was not
possible to resolve these; relations between the two parties remain
amicable.
We remain committed to the oneworld alliance; its growth continued with
the addition of Aer Lingus and LAN Chile in June 2000. Following its
purchase by Air Canada, Canadian Airlines, a founder member of
oneworld, left the alliance in June 2000.
Outlook
The outlook for the second half is better than last year. Lower
capacity growth in our main markets and continued economic growth are
positive factors, although the situation in the Middle East is cause
for concern.
Benefits from the new fleet and network strategy and from the sustained
drive for cost efficiency are now showing up in our financial results,
although high fuel prices continue to impact earnings. Further
improvements are anticipated from the renewed attention to customer
service, the increased focus on employee morale and the phased
introduction of new products (initial customer reaction is excellent).

8 DIVIDENDS PAID AND PROPOSED
There was no charge to the profit and loss account in relation
to 1999-00 final dividends paid to Convertible Capital Bond
holders(1998-99: £1 million), who converted their bonds in June
2000, in accordance with the terms of the bonds.
9 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated on a weighted average
of 1,075,267,000 ordinary shares (September 1999:
1,074,528,000)as adjusted for shares held for the purposes of
employee share ownership plans including the Long Term
Incentive Plan. Diluted earnings per share are calculated on a
weighted average of 1,123,463,000 ordinary shares (September
1999: 1,126,460,000) after allowing for the conversion rights
attaching to the Convertible Capital Bonds and for adjustments
to income to eliminate interest payable on the Convertible
Capital Bonds.
The number of shares in issue at September 30, 2000 was
1,082,108,000 (September 30, 1999: 1,081,225,000; March 31,
2000: 1,081,515,000) ordinary shares of 25 pence each.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO BRITISH AIRWAYS Plc
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the financial information set
out on page 2 and pages 6 to 10 and we have read the other information contained
in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The Listing
Rules of the Financial Services Authority require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent
with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any
changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review consists principally of making
enquiries of the Group's management and applying analytical procedures to the
financial information and underlying financial data and
based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have
been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit
procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and
transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in
accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of
assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the
financial information.
