BRITISH Airways (BA) was again the biggest winner at the annual Business Traveller Awards, hosted recently at the London Hilton Hotel, copping six awards including the top prize for Best Airline.

The airline also took individual awards for Best Shorthaul Airline, Best Frequent Flyer Programme, Best First Class, Best Longhaul Airline and Best Economy Class. Chief executive Willie Walsh collected the awards on behalf of the airline.

The awards are voted for by readers of the Business Traveller magazine and for more than 20 years, have been one of the premium awards in business travel. Best Domestic Train Service and Favourite Luggage Brand were added this year.

Walsh noted that the company was delighted that readers had voted overwhelmingly for BA.

"It is an exciting time for us, as we look forward to relaunching our long-haul business class cabin, Club World, that will see new standards for business travel and ensure that BA maintains its place at the forefront of our industry."

One of the first two men to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission, astronaut Dr Buzz Aldrin, was this year's guest of honour at the ceremony and presented the awards, which span 43 categories from hotels and airlines to car rental and luggage brands.

The revamp, due to be unveiled in London today, is BA's latest salvo in the most fiercely fought-over sector of the aviation market.

Other airlines have recently taken airborne comfort to heights undreamed of when business class was introduced 30 years ago.

Alex McWhirter, consumer editor of Business Traveller magazine, said: 'Business class has never been more luxurious and business class passengers have never had so much choice.'

BA's revamp of its Club World service has been overseen by style guru Tyler Brulé, founder of Wallpaper magazine. It will involve the airline installing more than 5,000 new 'flat bed' seats that are six inches longer and five inches wider than the current model and which can be adjusted into a 'Z' position to support the knees and back.
