British Airways is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom, It is headquartered in London, England, not that far its main hub at Heathrow Airport.

The airline is the second largest UK-based carrier, based on fleet size and passengers carried, behind easyJet. In January 2011 BA merged with Iberia, creating the International Airlines Group (IAG), a holding company registered in Madrid, Spain. IAG is the world's third-largest airline group in terms of annual revenue and the second-largest in Europe. It is listed on the London Stock Exchangeand in the FTSE 100 Index. British Airways is the first passenger airline to have generated more than US$1 billion on a single air route in a year (from 1 April 2017, to 31 March 2018, on the New York-JFK – London-Heathrow route).[7]

BA was created in 1974 after a British Airways Board was established by the British government to manage the two nationalised airline corporations, British Overseas Airways Corporation and British European Airways, and two regional airlines, Cambrian Airways and Northeast Airlines. On 31 March 1974, all four companies were merged to form British Airways. However, it marked 2019 as its centenary based on predecessor companies.[8] After almost 13 years as a state company, BA was privatised in February 1987 as part of a wider privatisation plan by the Conservative government. The carrier expanded with the acquisition of British Caledonian in 1987, Dan-Airin 1992, and British Midland International in 2012.

It is a founding member of the Oneworld airline alliance, along with American Airlines, the now-defunct Canadian Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas.

As of January 2024, the British Airways operates a fleet of 253 aircraft with 47 orders. BA operates a mix of Airbus narrow and wide-body aircraft, and Boeing wide-body aircraft, specifically the 777 and 787. 

the only airline that flies from Salt Lake City to London Heathrow Airport is Delta Air Lines 

Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), the primary airport serving Salt Lake City, Utah, the United States, is perhaps not known for its vast network of international destinations. However, the airport still has a fair share of flights outside of the US, including itineraries to various destinations to neighboring Mexico or Europe’s most popular tourist destinations.

The airport is also a Delta Air Lines hub, which operates a large part of flights out of SLC. Henceforth, the data being used was provided by the aviation analytics company Cirium for the month of March 2023.

Scraping by into the list is the route between SLC and London Heathrow Airport (LHR), a hub for Virgin Atlantic. However, unlike other European destinations from the capital of the state of Utah, Delta Air Lines serves the flights to LHR with an Airbus A330-200, an older generation of aircraft compared to the newer Airbus A330-900.

As such, there are fewer seats, although much like on flights to AMS and CDG, Delta Air Lines has seven weekly itineraries to the capital of the United Kingdom. However, the airline will reduce flights between SLC and LHR to five weekly by the upcoming summer season. In addition, Delta Air Lines deployed an A330-900 on the route during the last peak summer season, so the airline will significantly reduce its capacity compared to 2023.

Nevertheless, Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic announced the route in August 2015, planning to begin flights between SLC and LHR in May 2016, with it being a seasonal route at first. At the time, its flights to AMS were also seasonal, according to the announcement published by the airport. 

Before its 2008 merger with Northwest Airlines, Delta's fleet was made up solely of American manufacturers' aircraft (except the Airbus A310, which was acquired from the collapsed Pan American World Airways). Aircraft from overseas manufacturers like Airbus joined the fleet after the merger with Northwest, and more have since been added.
