It's something we've been doing for over 100 years, ever since we launched the world's first international scheduled air service between London and Paris.

This originality has been in our blood since day one. It's the spirit we share with the people who fly with us, our partners, and our colleagues.

We know great things can happen when you're inspired to think big and bring your ambition to work every day, which is why, at British Airways the sky is never the limit.

What you'll bring to British Airways:

Excellent IT literacy, compiled with exceptional communication and relationship-building expertise.

Ability to work under pressure within a dynamic operational environment is also critical. 

Your experience:

Experience in Baggage operations and system command and control processes is essential. 

Experience in managing BAU and disruption events.

Experience in working within a multi-user control room environment.

Experience of BA Baggage operation at LHR or similar is desirable.

Strong understanding of airport systems.

Ability to hold an airside pass.

Full UK driver's manual license is valid for more than 06 months with a maximum of 03 points (or equivalent) to enable an airside driving permit.

Willing and able to work shifts covering 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

What we offer:

We believe that all the people who work with us should feel valued for the part they play. It's one of the reasons our rewards go far beyond a competitive salary.

From the day you join us, you'll get access to brilliant staff travel benefits including unlimited basic and premium standby tickets on British Airways flights. You'll also receive up to 30 discounted Hotline' airfares per year for yourself, friends, and family.

At British Airways you'll have the chance to take on new challenges and move forward in a way that feels right for you. We encourage all those who work for us to consider opportunities right across our business to help you develop and progress.

We never stand still, and we don't expect our people to either.
