We are a global airline, and there are
opportunities within British Airways to work and travel all over the world. However, the vast majority of positions
are based in a number of key UK regions. London & the South It should come as
little surprise that we have a major presence at both Heathrow and Gatwick Airports. Heathrow is the
world's busiest international airport, and the world's second busiest cargo port. Over 90 airlines are based here,
and more than 62 million passengers pass through the airport every year. On average, 1,250 flights a day come in and
out of Heathrow - one every 40 seconds. Gatwick is the busiest single runway airport in the world, the
second largest airport in the UK and the sixth busiest international airport in the world. Its two terminals handle
over 30 million passengers a year, a figure set to rise to around 40 million within the next ten years. Other
airports in the South with a British Airways presence are Bristol, Southampton, London City, Stansted, Newquay,
Plymouth and the Channel Isles. Many of our offices are based in and around the Heathrow area.
