The investment includes £750 million for IT infrastructure upgrades and £100 million for operational efficiencies, all aimed at enhancing the employee and customer experience. Notable highlights include a confidentially detailed new First class suite for A380 aircraft, expected by late 2025.
Collaborating with suppliers from England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, British Airways showcased innovative new short-haul seats and cabin interiors for Airbus A320neos and A321neos. The airline also announced the return of services to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur later this year.
In addition, a new website and app, currently in pilot phase, promise enhanced personalization and self-service features, with initial rollout plans by year-end. Executive Club members will enjoy complimentary messaging on wifi-enabled flights starting April 3rd.
Furthermore, British Airways plans to debut new lounge designs, beginning with Dubai Airport this year and Miami in 2025. CEO Sean Doyle reiterated the airline’s dedication to transformation, focusing on customer experience, operational efficiency, and sustainability efforts to reduce emissions.
While parent company IAG reported record profits in 2023, there remains a noted disparity in business travel recovery compared to leisure travel performance.
