The aviation industry is marked by stiff competition.
On short haul routes, BA faces tough competition both on ground and in the air. Due to the
infrastructure improvements, train operators in UK are grabbing a much larger share of the
travel market. There has been significant reduction in train travel time in areas such as the
West Coast mainline. Despite of the snow in January, Euro star continued to expand and
its passenger number rose by 1.2 percent in 2009 and the demand for flights from London
to Paris and Brussels fell by 3 and 14 percent respectively.
In the long haul market, BA has been significantly affected by deregulation. In summer

market environment on transatlantic routes.
