B.A.s new company?

[Oldsalt]

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?

[Globaliser]

2 September 2005 - from Companies House (http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/WebCHeck/fastrack/). Registered address is that of Wragge & Co (http://www.wragge.com/), solicitors.

This is the rest of the raft done on that day, at least that I can find:-
British Airways Clear Limited
British Airways Connect Limited
British Airways Direct Limited
British Airways Here Limited
British Airways Light Limited
British Airways Link Limited
British Airways Pulse Limited
British Airways Spirit Limited
British Airways Spring Limited

What? - No British Airways One Class?

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

[Kirkwall]

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.

[Globaliser]

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.
