British Airways and subsidiaries: number of passengers carried 2011-2020

In 2020, British Airways, including its subsidiaries, uplifted only 12.3 million passengers due to travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. This was the lowest value since the beginning of the reporting period in 2010, with the distance flown also echoing this development.
British Airways was born out of four separate airlines in 1974, following efforts by the British government to establish a new British Airways Board and end an ongoing dispute between two of its predecessors in disagreement over airspace usage rights.

British Airways' performance during the coronavirus pandemic

For the first time in more than a decade, British Airways reported a net profit loss of nearly 3.5 billion British pounds. Their revenue also dropped by more than 70 percent to 3.9 billion British pounds in 2020.
