Milestones
On April 15, 1926, Charles Lindbergh flew the first
American Airlines flight – carrying U.S. mail from St. Louis, Missouri, to
Chicago, Illinois. After 8 years of mail routes, the airline began to form into
what it is today. American founder C.R. Smith worked with Donald Douglas to
create the DC-3; a plane that changed the entire airline industry, switching
revenue sources from mail to passengers.

British Airways is a full service global airline,
offering year-round low fares with an extensive global route network flying to
and from centrally-located airports.
British Airways can trace its origins back to the birth
of civil aviation, the pioneering days following World War I. In the 100 years
that have passed since the world's first schedule air service on 25 August
1919, air travel has changed beyond all recognition. Each decade saw new
developments and challenges, which shaped the path for the future, Take a look
at the different eras of air travel, to see how British Airways became the
airline it is today.
Air Transport and Travel De Havilland DH9b G-EAQP
1910 to 1919
On 25 August 1919 Aircraft Transport and Travel Limited
(AT&T), a forerunner company of today’s British Airways, launched the
world’s first daily international scheduled air service, between London and
Paris. That first flight, which took off from Hounslow Heath, close to today’s
Heathrow Airport, carried a single passenger and cargo that included
newspapers, Devonshire cream, jam and grouse.
1920 to 1929
In 1924 Imperial Airways was created as the government’s
“chosen instrument of air travel” by the amalgamation of The Instone Air Line
Ltd., Handley Page Air Transport Ltd., The Daimler Airway and British Marine
Air Navigation Co. Ltd. Imperial began services from London (Croydon) to
European destinations as well as pioneering routes to Africa, the Middle East
and India.
Imperial Airways Short S23 C Class Flying Boat G-ADHM
Caledonia.
1930 to 1939
The introduction of luxurious aircraft including the HP42
offered customers new levels of luxury aloft. Imperial Airways opened services
from Southampton to Empire destinations using the Short S23 flying boat; the
Empire Air Mail Scheme was inaugurated. In 1935 four private airlines were
merged to form the independent British Airways Limited; in 1939 the government
announced its decision to merge the two airlines.
BOAC Lockheed Constellation G-AHEK Berwick II.
1940 to 1949
British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), the new
state airline, was formed in April 1940 and operated wartime services under the
control of the Air Ministry. In 1946, London Airport was opened officially.
British European Airways (BEA) and British South American Airways (BSAA) were
created to operate commercial services to Europe and South America
respectively.
BOAC De Havilland Comet 1 G-ALYP leaving Heathrow for
Johannesburg on the world's first jet service.
1950 to 1959
The delivery in 1952 of the De Havilland Comet enabled
BOAC to operate the world’s first pure jet services and in October 1958, with
the Comet 4, to operate the first transatlantic pure jet service. BEA
successfully introduced the world-beating Vickers Viscount propeller-turbined
aircraft into service on its UK domestic and European routes. The central area
of London Airport opened in April 1955.
BOAC Vickers Super VC-10.
1960 to 1969
Deliveries of Boeing 707s and Vickers VC-10s to BOAC, and
De Havilland Tridents to BEA, provided new commercial opportunities for both
airlines. In 1965, at Heathrow, a BEA Trident made the world’s first fully
automatic landing carrying commercial passengers.
British Airways BAC Super 1-11 G-BGKE.
1970 to 1979
The arrival in 1971 of the Boeing 747, the first
wide-bodied jet, and the advent in 1976 of supersonic flight with Concorde
presented contrasting new commercial opportunities and challenges. In 1974
British Airways was created by the merger of BOAC and BEA.
Explore 1970 to 1979
Lockheed Tristar L1011.
1980 to 1989
A new corporate identity, designed by Landor Associates,
was unveiled in December 1984 and in 1986 the airline’s longhaul services moved
into the newly-built Terminal 4 at Heathrow. The privatisation of British
Airways was completed in 1987 under the leadership of Chairman Lord King. In
1988 BA was merged with Gatwick-based British Caledonian Airways.
British Airways Boeing 747-436 G-CIVX.
1990 to 1999
The airline unveiled in June 1997 its new corporate
identity incorporating on its aircraft designs from around the world. A new
fleet of Airbus aircraft was ordered for short haul services. The formation was
announced in 1999 of a new global alliance – oneworld – which also included
Qantas and American.

2000 to 2009
With much acclaim Concorde retired from service in 2003.
Heathrow’s Terminal 5 was opened by the Queen in March 2008 and orders for new
Airbus A380s and Boeing 787 Dreamliners were announced. Lord Marshall of
Knightsbridge retired as Chairman of British Airways and was succeeded by
Martin Broughton. The airline inaugurated the first longhaul route from London
City Airport – to New York.

The Lufthansa Group is an aviation group with operations
worldwide. With 135,534 employees, the Lufthansa Group generated revenue of EUR
35,844m in the financial year 2018. The Lufthansa Group is composed of the
segments Network Airlines, Eurowings and Aviation Services. Aviation Services
comprises the segments Logistics, MRO, Catering and Additional Businesses and Group
Functions. The latter also include Lufthansa AirPlus, Lufthansa Aviation
Training and the IT companies. All segments occupy a leading position in their
respective markets.
Key Figures
Total Group revenues for 2018 were a six-percent increase
on the previous year. Burdened by the first-time application of the IFRS 15
accounting standard, total revenues were one percent up on 2017, at EUR 35.8
billion. The Adjusted EBIT for the year of around EUR 2.8 billion was only
slightly below the record EUR 3.0 billion of the previous year, despite an
increase of some EUR 850 million in fuel costs and EUR 518 million of expenses
incurred through delays and cancellations (up a substantial 70 percent from the
EUR 304 million of the prior year).
Alliances and Partner Airlines
Alliances are fundamental to Lufthansa‘s success. As a
founding member of Star Alliance, Lufthansa offers innumerable advantages in
the world‘s biggest global network. Its regional strategy under the Lufthansa
Regional brand connects Europe‘s regions with one another and with the world
beyond. Bilateral partnerships augment and enhance the services portfolio.
Star Alliance
The Star Alliance network is the leading global airline
network. It was established in 1997 as the first truly global airline alliance
to offer customers convenient worldwide reach and a smoother travel experience.
Joint Ventures
Lufthansa participates in two strategically and
commercially important joint ventures: the A++ transatlantic joint venture with
United Airlines and Air Canada, the J+ bilateral Europe/Japan joint venture
with All Nippon Airways and the commercial joint venture with Singapore
Airlines.
Comprehensive programme helps to ensure compliance
Compliance describes all measures taken to ensure the
correct conduct of companies, their management and staff with respect to
statutory and the Company’s own obligations and prohibitions. The Lufthansa
Group Compliance Programme is intended to prevent staff and the Company from
coming into conflict with the law and at the same time to help them to apply
statutory regulations correctly.
The Lufthansa Compliance Programme is made up of the
following elements: Competition, Capital Markets, Integrity and Embargo
Compliance. An ombudsman system gives staff the opportunity to report any
suspicion of criminal activity or breaches of the compliance regulations. The
Corporate Compliance Office, which reports to the Board member responsible for
Human Resources and Legal, further develops the Compliance Programme
conceptually and provides trainings (eLearning and classroom trainings). The
Organisation using central and (optional) local compliance committees, as well
as appointing compliance managers in the entire Lufthansa Group ensures the
involvement of the responsible employees and builds awareness of the Compliance
Programme. The Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board is notified
semi-annually of incidents and progress concerning compliance in a Compliance
Report.
Code of Conduct
Responsible and lawful behaviour is a perquisite for the
sustainable economic success of the Lufthansa Group. The Lufthansa Group Code
of Conduct summarises the principles and guidelines which must be taken into
account by each employee of the Group on a day-to-day basis. The Code of
Conduct also serves as an orientation aid for business partners, clearly
communicating our expectation that they comply with all applicable laws.
The Lufthansa Group is also a party to the “United
Nations Global Compact” and is a member
of the anti-corruption network, “Transparency International”.
In addition, a number of internal guidelines on topics
such as Integrity and Competition Compliance reflect our voluntary and
mandatory commitments, as discussed above, and have translated them into
everyday do’s and don’ts for our employees.
