100 years of British Airways
On August 25 2019, British Airways will celebrate 100 incredible years of taking the world to Britain and Britain to the world. To mark its Centenary, the airline will be hosting a variety of activities and events over the coming months. This will include identifying BA’s 100 Great Britons; people from around the country who epitomise modern Britain, including stars from the worlds of business, film and entertainment, food and drink, philanthropy, art, science, sport and more. Some of the 100, including actress Olivia Coleman and champion boxer Anthony Joshua, can be seen in a new brand campaign, recently launched to mark the start of BA’s Centenary year, as seen below.
