Carolina Martinoli, British Airways' director of brand and customer experience, said it was the first time the airline had organised such a sale.
Good sales pitch, perhaps, but total tosh. I've still got lots of knick-knacks and crockery items (, bowls, hors d'oeuvre dishes etc. ) plus Concorde luggage tags etc.. The Uniform Store always had similar items on sale and the major fleet refurbishments put thousands of catering items on boot-sale stalls. In fairness, the quality was excellent.
