Meanwhile, BA is terminating the highly lucrative loyalty schemes that it runs with Diners Club and NatWest credit card holders and switching to American Express.

The move is likely to upset thousands of passengers who collect Air Miles and enjoy Executive Club benefits by booking flights using their Diners Club or NatWest cards.
