B.A.s new company?

Just discovered a newly incorporated company called British Airways Express Limited, registered in Birmingham. Could this be the new no-frills ailrine that rumours have been about?

Good rumour Oldsalt, certainly sounds more believable than 'BA Red'.

Everything else has been simplified at British Airways CitiExpress - so why not simplify the name?

When was this company registered?

What? - No British Airways One Class?

Suppose it would become 'Wonkers' (or worse) - BAOC

Oh dear, will they never learn.

British Airways Light rhymes with British Airways s**te.

So if CitiExpress is going to become plain simple Express, which part of the group is going to be branded Lite?

Mainline perhaps?

Sorry, couldn't resist getting in there before Tandem rotor and his/her mates start.

Bet they regret repainting the fleet over the last few years. Much cheaper and appropriate if they'd left the entire fleet in the Landor scheme with British Airways Express down the fuselage just like in the mid/late '90s with CityFlyer, Brymon and Manx/BRAL.

BA Express was a former BA company some 10 years ago as I recall regular pax asking how a Shorts 330 could be an express.

Was it actually a company with that name then, or just a trading name/brand?

The US airlines' "Express" services are operated by a diverse mixture of subsidiaries and franchisees.
