• The American and British Airways joint venture will begin working better during irregular operations to move passengers from one carrier to the other. I remember talking with BA about this in London back in March 2012.

  AA/BA: will be making technical changes to make things more seamless during IROPS. BA will be able to work on AA PNR’s and thereby rebook their customers on AA flights during IROP. On the AA side, BA flights will now automatically show up for passengers via self-help rebooking..
