MAIN BODY
Challenges/ Problems faced by company
British Airways have been operating its business since 1947. The company have
introduced various changes on its management levels and employees as well from time to time.
As the company works on a global level it faces various internal and external issues. All the
challenges result into reduced market share and decreased overall profitability of the company
(Suau-Sanchez, Voltes-Dorta and Cugueró-Escofet, 2020).

The external challenges which are faced by the company involve the availability if
substitutes and other transportation mediums which are way cheaper than British Airways. The
company also faced the challenge of employee retention as it reduced the salaries of its staff. It
showed adverse impact on employee retention. This reduced employee morale which resulted in
mass industrial actions taken by employees such as employee strikes that caused disastrous
consequences to the company. The company is based on capital intensive and its operations are
very costly in present economic turbulent times such as COVID-19 era. Fuel rates are also
unstable. The company imports the fuel from middle-east region where the fuel prices are always
fluctuating (Grewe and et.al., 2021). The profits of the company are based on the fuel prices. As
fuel prices have hiked the transportation costs increase as well.
Another challenge faced by the company is strict landing rules of some countries. This
have presented issue to the company to change its regular operations. The world is suffering
from global crisis of COVID-19, it have influenced the airline industry as well. Profits of British
Airways are plummeting because the travellers prefer alternative mediums which offer low cost
travels. Various environmental policies have also influenced the business. Environmental
policies have caused the company to introduce various changes in its operations, management
and strategies as well. The major challenge faced by company is the entry of new companies and
intensity of competition (Dray and Schäfer, 2021).
From the perspective of consultant, the problems identified impact largely on the
company and its business. As it was analysed that the company faces major problems such as
continuous declining of customers and reducing profits. The company should focus more on
tackling with its challenge of competitive intensity rather than the other challenges. The rising
competition makes it very hard for the company to retain its customers or attract any other
potential customers. The company is also struggling to cope up with the financial impacts caused
due to COVID-19 pandemic. The company is also facing the issue over its wage costs that is
assumed to increase further more. One of the another challenge faced by British Airways was
that its employees alleged the company to have employee discrimination and does not provide
equal opportunities. It have demoralised the employees.
The company can tackle various actions to reduce this issue. It already have taken some
steps to tackle the challenges such as the chairman of British Airways believe it have made
significant progress in overcoming these challenges (Mhalla, 2020). The key solution taken by

company involves well implemented practical innovations which have maintained the position of
company. The company has also worked to maintain its employee satisfaction so that they
remain motivated and employee productivity is not reduced.
Purpose of report
The report aims to find the key issues which British Airways is facing currently. British
Airways is facing various issues which are mainly caused by current affairs such as COVID-19
and inflation. The report aims to provide solutions to the challenges which were identified in the
challenges part.
As a consultancy company evaluation of specific issues is important as it will allow to
diagnose those issues. Evaluation of issues will also allow the consultancy company to identify
the most appropriate solution. The evaluation of problems will benefit the client company which
is British Airways it will allow the company to tackle and eliminate all the challenges more
effectively.
Stakeholder analysis
The impact of research on stakeholders can be understood to be highly specific for
strengthening business standards on extended working goals, with changing competitive
working scenarios diversely on operative horizons. British airways has internal stakeholders such
as employees, owners and managers who feel impact of challenges such as extensive commercial
profits decline within recent time period to be diverse. It can be also analysed that internal
stakeholders feel commercial loss has been severe to be further extended on wider determinants
(TAŞDEMİR, 2021). The decline in commercial working expertise, change in business laws in
international laws and COVID-19 pandemic impact has been severe which has also lowered
business goals diversely. External employees are the range of customers, government and
shareholders which are some of the most essential bodies which further plays crucial role for
operative functional growth diversely.
The challenges within extended parameters, have been critically found to be also typical
where decline in competitive standards, high range of competent standards have been found to
be widely crucial for technical decline in goodwill. British Airways with changing business laws
in international aviation industry, has been facing decline in consumer bookings and further
extended decline among working operational parameters with extensive focus on working
horizons. It can be also analysed that stakeholders feel that business have been further facing

reduction in customer bookings severely, where this has also hampered company goodwill. The
COVID-19 restrictions has also further led to determined reduction loss in customers safety
standards, based on new aviation industry demands for wider business decline. It can be also
found that company customers have been feeling less lucrative to travel wit British Airways,
which has been further found to be also technically specific (Makarova, and Ermolina, 2021).
Evaluation of major factors also head on specific parameters, where this further
determines wider business goals to be hurt within competitive industry horizons. British Airways
with changing rapid business standards, have been facing reduced expertise on untapped
paradigms where the new range of operatives plays specific role for higher level integration. The
brand has been also facing decline in losses, with uncertainty of extensive changes in
international travel laws among countries within international functional domains. British
Airways, need to further invest on high hygienic and sanitation facilities for larger range of
competitive business goals which need to determine wider expertise goals (Wu and Yang, 2021).
It can be also analysed that company aims to further exceed on gaining larger range of
competitive business avenues, for strengthened vision goals and to leverage best working goals.
There has to be new investments done in practical business goals and technical growth rise, to
invest on formation of wider expertise variedly.
British Airways, further extensively have to develop untapped business goals and invest
on further improvised functional scenarios where stakeholders satisfaction holds huge
importance. The new range of efficacy, wider business goals worked on need to be further
primitively formed on for wider strengthened formation of competitive business goals. It can be
also analysed that companies within recent expertise goals have been taking strategic formation
of targets and tackle issues for higher customers expansion non-functionally (Kulshreshtha,
2021). The rapid changes coming up in aviation industry, heads on high focus on specific
business enhanced growth rise for gaining wider extended market stability. It further has been
found to be also integrated as one of the best vision operative rise, where stakeholders impact has
been also significantly rising on extended business grounds diversely. Also, retaining best
expertise and further extending on higher investments plays crucial role for retaining higher
commercialisation benchmarks and uplifting best working domains goals reached on. The
challenge have also critically developed business decline in business regulations, technically
decline in consumer bookings.

Evaluation and analysis with secondary data
Secondary data refers to the data and information that have been already collected by
other researchers. The data which is used is not fresh and is used by various people. This data is
collected through primary resources by other researchers and is made available to other
researchers to use it for their research. The reports aims to present the data collected on the
various issues and challenges faced by the British Airways caused by current affairs. In the
current repost, the secondary data has been collected through various secondary resources such
as internet journals, e-books, textbooks and newspapers as well (Dube, Nhamo and Chikodzi,
2021).
Recently it was found that British Airways is facing many challenges due to the current
affairs such as COVID-19 and inflation. COVID have caused a significant loss in the airline
industry. Due to the restrictions many airlines were restricted to travel or to travel with less
passengers have cause various financial crisis to airline companies such as British Airways.
COVID-19 had impacted the world and have resulted in global crisis. This crisis have raised
many other crisis such as inflation and higher costs of products and services more than ever. The
company is still struggling to cover up with the financial impacts caused due to COVID-19
pandemic. As the company operations are very costly and due to present economic turbulent
times such as COVID-19 era, the company had to raise its prices even more to cover up its
operations. It have reduced the profitability of the company. COVID have also resulted in
inflation which have made the costs and operations costly, overall reducing profit ratio of the
company.

Value of tourism spend 580 310 354

The aviation industry have been affected a lot by the COVID-19 issues. British Airways
is not an exception here. The company had faced faced major financial crisis in the years 2029-
2020. Due to COVID-19 protocols, the operating costs of the companies increased. Fuel prices
also hiked at time contributing more in operating costs (Liu, Kim, and O'Connell, 2021). As a
result the overall profitability of the company reduced and the company faced major financial
crisis. The impact of COVID-19 have impacted adversely on aviation industry as seen from there
above diagrams. However, it is assumed the aviation industry will rise back in the year 2022.
COVID-19 have limited the disposable incomes of people so the population continuously
researches for the products and services that have low costs recently. Disposable incomes refers
to the money which is left by a person to spend as they wish after all the expenses have been paid
(McLaughlin, 2017). Recently, there is intense competition in Airlines industry even tough the
entry of new entrants is difficult in it. The availability if substitutes and other transportation
mediums have also enhanced. Consumers have shifted to other transportation mediums such as
public transport and bikes due to COVID-19 protocols and also because it cost way less than the
services provided by British Airways (Bureau, 2020). The other companies dealing in aviation

business that provide services in less prices than the British Airways. Airline companies had to
borrow huge finances in order to cope up with challenges and daily burn rates. The debts of these
companies are still rising. Repayment of these debts have damaged the credit ratings of the
companies and increased financing costs of the companies such as British Airways (Sun and
et.al., 2021).

Analysis: As the companies have huge debts on them. To reduce the debts the companies will
raise the ticket prices up-to 3 percent. As the pandemic is over, the demand of air travel is likely
to return. It will aid companies in restoring their capacities.
The company has been alleged to discriminate employees in the workplace and for not
providing equal opportunities to every employee. Employee discrimination refers to the treat the
employees differently or unequal due to some reasons. It involves the concepts such as unfair
treatment with employees, employee harassment, retaliation or disclosure of personal
information. Due to COVID-19 the company laid off many employees and reduced their salaries
to control its costs. These actions have demoralised the employees and resulted into negative
impact on employee retention. As a result the employees took mass industrial actions such as
employee strikes and high employee turnover. Employee turnover refers to the measurement of
amount of employees which have left the organization in a certain period (Zhao and et.al., 2018).
Higher employee turnover impacts on the goodwill of the company in markets. So higher
employee turnover in British Airways have caused disastrous consequences to the company and
reduced productivity as well. The high employee turnover also results into damaging the image
of the company and appearing less attractive to potential employees of the company.
Another challenge faced by the British Airways is constant needs of upgrading airline
infrastructure and technological advancements. As there is intense competition in aviation
industry, the aviation companies such as British Airways needs to upgrade its infrastructure on
the regular basis (Agrawal, 2021). To stay ahead of the competition and maintain its reputation,
the company needs to renovate its operations and systems. It can be costly for the company to
regularly invest costs into the up-gradation. However, it can provide various benefits to British
Airways such as increased customer base and retaining its existing customers as well. But it can
leave a huge impact on the company's finances. The company needs to maintain and
implemented new technologies in its operations and air-crafts. Technology up-gradation is
crucial as due to any issue caused in a system, the scheduling and flights can get affected. It
could result in collapsing of the entire system. It is considered as a challenge because the rising
dependence of aviation industry on technology makes it vulnerable.

Maintenance of Air-crafts periodically is also a challenge. Aircraft maintenance is crucial
for every aviation company so that it can ensure passenger safety and comfort. Maintenance is
considered as a challenge for the chosen company, as air-craft maintenance can be very costly
and it cannot be skipped. The company have to invest in its maintenance regardless of what they
are earning or if it is in debts. If there are any faulty air-craft doors or faulty airline seating
noticed by passengers, they can sue the comp[any liable for not ensuring their safety. It is
considered as a crucial challenge because the air-craft carriers have to maintain their present
fleet. They also have to ensure buying new and modern fleets from time to time while making
sure that fuel efficiency and low costs are maintained as well (Rahman and et.al., 2020).
Recently the fuel rates are also unstable. The company imports the fuel from middle-east
region where the fuel prices are always fluctuating. The profits of profits of aviation companies
are majorly based on the fuel prices. COVID-19 have caused inflation and raised the prices of
products and services. The fuel prices have hiked the transportation costs as well. As a result the
company have to import the fuel on higher prices from other countries. The fuel prices are
involved in the services which are charged from its customers (Gettelman, Chen, and Bardeen,
C.G., 2021). Higher operational costs and reduced customer based impacts on overall
profitability generated by the company.
Instability of prices in aviation industry

Fuel spend 186 78 100
Fuel usage 359 196 217
Fuel prices 77 46.6 74.5

Due to COVID-19 the prices of fuel hiked. However in the year 202, due to pandemic
lock down, the prices of fuel decreased. It did not benefit the aviation industry as the air flights
were restricted till the pandemic was over. Once the lock-down opened and restrictions on air
flights were removed the prices of fuel hiked once again. This time a huge difference in the fuel
rates were noticed. Companies were already in loss due to flight restrictions and hike in fuel
prices increased their fuel costs (Schumann, and et.al., 2021).
In some countries the landing rules and airline protocols are very strict. It proposes
various challenge to the British Airlines. Due to COVID-19, governments made various
protocols such as conduction of viral test before travelling into the flight. Another protocol was
that their passengers and the employees needed to be fully vaccinated. Event though the
company contributed its business in COVID, it have faced various challenges related to COVID
restrictions and travel restrictions which have created issues in its network scheduling and
planning. Travels to certain countries such as US were suspended for few months. The other
travellers which used the flights were isolated for 14 days in UK. After that period the initiative
to design shorter periods for quarantine and isolation rebooted the confidence in consumers for
booking and scheduling flights (Macilree and Duval, D.T., 2020).
The company have faced major financial crisis in the years 2019 to 2020. the company
took various loans. It is very challenging for the company o repay all the loans. It is also a major
challenge for the company.

The company is at financial risk. Since the COVID-19, the company have shifted its
focus on their liquidity and extending its credit facilities. The company have taken various loans
for its new aircraft leases and added one year funding facilities in advance. These create a debt
on the comp-any which is assumed to increase in next couple years (Zhang and et.al., 2021). If
the company is unable to cope up the challenge of reducing customers and intense competition, It
will have to face further financial crisis and reduced profit generation.
Research limitations
Research limitations rare those elements of research which have the can influence and
impact the research undertaken for study. It is crucial to address the various research limitations
so that opportunities for creating suggestions for further research can be created. In the current
research regarding the challenges faced by British Airways caused by current affairs, various
limitations were identified by the researcher. The potential research limitations can include lack
of time and inadequate access to participants of the research. These limitation imply that there
was not enough time to conduct and analyse the data more deeply. There was lack to access to

the participants or stakeholders of the research as well. This have the potential to influence the
data collected ad data analysed. Another potential limitation identified by the researcher involves
research bias. Every human has distinct thinking and beliefs which distinct their choices about
right and wrong. It means that similar data gathered from various resources can imply different
meanings. It can reflect when data is being collected from them. It can influence research study.
Recommendations and conclusion
British airways with changing business goals and competitive expertise, has further scope
to invest on new range of competitive goals for extended aviation industry positioning within
global parameters. The brand aims to enhance new range of investments, to deliver larger rise on
primitive working scenarios and further generate competitive business standards (Dobre, 2021).
It can be also analysed that adopting to new COVID-19 rules and investing on high scale
hygienic and sanitation factors further plays crucial role for advanced new range of competitive
business goals. As the purpose of the report was to analyse various challenges which British
Airways is facing caused by current affairs. The recommendations can help the co0mpany to
identify potential solutions to overcome challenges. Following solution/recommendations can be
used by British Airways to overcome its challenges identified in the report above: Adoption of technical business pathways: British airways within aviation industry need
to adopt to further technical business pathways, leverage functional new vision oriented
goals and develop primitive responsible expertise technically. The company should be
also cautious regarding gaining customers retention with significant focus on operative
expertise and generate larger functional growth optimally. With new innovative
expertise, British airways has scope to primitively bring on best range of competencies
for competitive pathways for larger range of abilities. It can be also analysed that with
rapid changing abilities, the British airways business goals have been further extending
towards attesting operative growth goals. Company need to further develop higher
expertise and technical operative paradigms, to strengthen on functional new extended
goals worked on for wider commercial consistency (Jamali, Feylizadeh and Liu, 2021). Technology up-gradation and Digital investment: Even though technology up-gradation
can cost a lot to the company, but it can provide various benefits to the British Airways.
So it recommended that British Airways should invest more in digitization and and

Information technology. Stepping up for automation an IT investment can help the
company in attaining various advantages (Bas and Sivaprasad, S., 2021). These
advantages involve quick recovery of local flights and enhanced customer experience. It
can also impact in better analytics which helps in better decision making and yielding of
significant revenues. Technology up-gradation can also allow the company to look for
better and less costly solutions from which it can reduce its costs. Technology up-
gradation can also enhance the brand value and distinct image in the industry. This can
help in coping up with the challenge of competition intensity. Constant up-gradation of
technology can also allow the company to improved maintenance of air-crafts in low
prices. Employee satisfaction and motivation: As the company is facing the challenging of
higher employee turnovers and mass actions taken by employees such as strikes. Due to
COVID-19 the company temporarily laid off some of its staff and reduced salaries of the
staff as well. It is recommended to the company that it should work more on employee
satisfaction and employee motivation so that it can reduce the employee turnover. The
co0mpany should try to maintain good and strong relationships with its staff. If the
company had to reduce the salaries to maintain the company costs then it should provide
other non-financial benefits to the employees so that they do not get frustrated (Shin and
et.al., 2021). Sustainable fuel: As the issue of fluctuating and hiked rates of fuel were identified, it is
recommended that the company should adopt sustainable fuels. The company should also
consider getting fuels from other suppliers as well so that it can negotiate the prices of
fuel. This can help in reducing the cost of operations of the company. It can help the
company in overcoming the challenge of high operation costs. If the fuel prices are low
the company do not have to charge high amounts of money from its customers. It will
help in coping up with the challenge of shifting or reducing number of customers to the
substitutes and other companies. All these will help the company to earn more and stable
profits and cope with the challenge of reducing profits. Competitive pricing: As it was analysed that the company had to increase the prices of its
services due to increased costs of its operations. As a result the company have to increase
its prices. However, due to increased prices the customers of the company shifted to other

companies (Akbar and Kisilowski, M., 2020). So it is recommended to British Airways
that it should use competitive pricing for charging from its customers. It will allow the
company to retain its existing customers. It will thus help the company to cope with the
issues of reducing number of customers and unbalanced profits as well.
 Diversified investments: Due to current issues such as COVID-19, the companies like
British Airways have faced various financial risks. The companies are in debt and the
repayment of those risks will increase by the year 2024. so it is recommended to British
Airways that it should diversify its investments so that it can manage its financial risks
effectively. The company can utilize the insurance money and emergency funds in order
to tackle the challenge of financial risks.
