Profile: Sir Adam Thomson

Article Abstract:

British Caledonian Group (BCG) chmn and CEO is Sir Adam Thomson. BCG resulted from a merger between British United Airlines and Caledonian Airways in 1970. Thomson had founded Caledonian Airways in 1961. He contemplates a merger with British Airways, feeling that there will be fewer, but larger airlines in Europe in general. British Caledonian has suffered several setbacks recently, such as increased oil prices, trouble with payments due from Nigeria, the termination of the Heathrow-Gatwick helicopter shuttle, and a decline in tourism. Purchases of new Airbus 320 and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 equipment may improve business. Thomson's airlines stress service and a Scottish identity.
