I have just checked the BA site and cannot find the quote at the moment but, I reacll them claiming a history of 80 years, which is actually from the time that Imperial Airways was formed by merging three other companies in 1924. As I understand it:[list=a][*]1919 Aircraft Transport and Travel (AT&T), first daily international scheduled air service, between London and Paris. [*]1924 Imperial Airways[*]1935 British Airways (a private coimpany)[*]1939 BOAC (Nationalised)[*]1972 Merged with BEA[*]1974 British Airways[*]1987 British Airways plc[/list=a] But it's all one company, right.
