British Airways Wins Best Airline Award
British Airways has won OAG's airline of the year award, voted for by frequent fliers. It won best transatlantic airline, best Europe to Asia airline and best Europe to Australasia categories.
This is despite the fact that British Airways lost more bags in 2006 than any other major European airline, and the other troubles BA has had to deal with in the past year. These include, delays and cancellations due to severe fog at Christmas and hundreds of cancelled flights during the stringent anti-terrorist measures put in place at airports in the summer.
