Marks & Spencer

is to become the

British Airways short-haul Economy Class catering supplier from January 2017 on Heathrow and Gatwick services.

The change in the service provided is seen as the first move by new BA managing director Alex Cruz to combat the so-called budget airlines. “Like British Airways, Marks & Spencer is a well-known, premium British brand that is respected and trusted, so it’s an ideal partnership, providing our customers with a choice of products they recognise and value.”
