British Airways Flight Status
About British Airways
British Airways is an airline based in United Kingdom, listed under the ICAO code BAW and the IATA code BA; air traffic control addresses its flights by the callsign "Speedbird". On this page you can follow British Airways flights and find the airports it serves.
How to read a British Airways flight number
Every British Airways flight number starts with BA, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix BAW, and controllers address it as "Speedbird". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by British Airways and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about British Airways
Where is my British Airways flight right now?
Search the flight number (BA plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my British Airways flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do BA and BAW mean on British Airways flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. BA is the IATA code you see on tickets; BAW is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does British Airways operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by British Airways, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
