Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BRITISH AIRWAYS said its mainline scheduled passenger traffic in July grew by 17.8 per cent on the same month last year. But with available seat kilometres showing growth of 21.1 per cent, this resulted in a 2.1 point decline in the passenger load factor to 75.6 per cent, it said.
Premium traffic, affected by last year's industrial dispute, showed growth of 14 per cent against growth in the main cabin of 18.4 per cent, it added. After allowing for the effects of the dispute, July traffic growth would have been broadly in line with June this year, BA said.
