That begs an interesting question. Who can guess BA's five biggest clients?

I would guess that they are all transatlantic companies but maybe there is a heavy user of the Asia route that I am discounting? In addition to loads of cash they will need a lot of employees to make up the numbers.

My guess, pulled out of thin air:
1. BP (got the cash, decent US operation)
2. UK Government (for breadth of routes flown)
3. HSBC (Global reach)
4. BA employees (with the discounts, why fly anyone else?)
5. JPMorgan (the bank with perhaps the largest presence in NY and LDN?)


Not that I know if the above are signed up to BA or another carrier.
