British Airways is the flag carrier of the United Kingdom. It was created on March 31, 1974, after the British government established a British Airways Board to oversee the two nationalized airlines, British Overseas Airways Corporation and British European Airways. British Airways extended its connection, and in 1999, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas formed the airline alliance Oneworld. British Airways remains a member of Oneworld.
British Airways serves over 170 destinations in 70 countries, including eight domestic and 26 in the United States. It has a fleet of 253 aircraft and 47 orders. It was one of the largest 747 operators, having previously operated the -100, -200, and -400 aircraft beginning in 1974.
