BA
Article Abstract:
British Airways (BA) faces high costs, the high value of pound sterling, rises in fuel prices, and an increase in capacity on Atlantic routes. The company may see pressures ease if fuel prices ease and there is a slowdown in capacity growth. BA is shedding staff, seeking to boost internet sales, and alter arrangements with travel agents. Dresdner Kleinwort Benson rates the company's stocks a 'buy', Westlb Panmure rates them a 'hold' and Salomon Smith Barney rates them an 'outperform'.

Pain now, gain later for British Airways
Article Abstract:
British Airways reported a rise in profit of 17% to 327 million pounds sterling for the 1994-1995 FY, and a 90% rise in profit if loss-making partners are excluded. Airline passenger traffic looks set to grow, and British Airways has already restructured to cut costs, so should benefit from this growth. The company's profit is forecast at 570 million pounds sterling for 1995-1996, and investors are recommended to buy shares in British Airways in Jun 1995.
