Internal restructuring: BA fermera d'ici le mois d'août 17 agences commerciales, son agence d'Heathrow spécialisée dans les voyages d'affaires ainsi qu'un centre d'appel de Belfast. Une restructuration décidée "en réponse au changement de comportement de la clientèle et de ventes de plus en plus nombreuses via internet", fait valoir BA. A ce jour, 8 réservations britanniques sur 10 pour ses vols sont faites via le site ba.com, et l'entreprise vise un objectif d'une sur deux pour l'ensemble de sa clientèle mondiale à l'horizon 2008, contre un tiers actuellement.: United Kingdom

2007 British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have agreed to pay $200m to settle a US class-action lawsuit to compensate 8m customers who were the victims of an illegal fuel surcharge cartel. For British Airways the payout comes on top of a £270m fine levied by UK and US regulators last year over its part in the fuel surcharge price-fixing scandal. Virgin Atlantic escaped the fine from the regulator as it blew the whistle on the cartel. BA and Virgin must run a national advertising campaign to inform passengers of how they can claim money back. Although the airlines will only be refunding up to £10 per long haul flight, for corporate clients that book hundreds of flights a year the sums could be significant. The settlement covers the period between August 2004 and March 2006 when British Airways and Virgin Atlantic colluded on raising the price of fuel surcharges on long-haul flights.     The Telegr.
