British Airways Plc is the United Kingdom’s flag carrier and a major global airline based in London. A subsidiary of International Airlines Group (IAG), it operates an extensive network of short- and long-haul passenger services from hubs at London Heathrow and London Gatwick, and carries freight through IAG Cargo.
Given its scale, British Airways is a significant consumer of aviation turbine fuel and related operational materials (such as lubricants and de-icing fluids), working with refiners, traders, and logistics providers to secure reliable supply. The airline also participates in the sector’s transition to lower-carbon operations through the procurement and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and efficiency initiatives, engaging with technology developers and fuel producers to help reduce lifecycle emissions across its network.
