British Airways has enjoyed a week to remember with impressive annual results and the boost of being voted their favourite airline by UK business travellers for the fourth year running in the Barclaycard Business Travel Survey.
But as BTE Analysis finds, there may be a cloud on BA's horizons.
Over at easyJet whose successful rise has helped force so many changes on BA and other traditional airlines, its chief executive officer Ray Webster is stepping down to return, eventually, to his native New Zealand.
In his ten years in situ, Mr Webster has overseen some of the major developments which have made the airline the second biggest budget carrier in Europe and one increasingly used by business travellers.
It was the demand from its clients for easyJet flights that persuaded BTI to reach an agreement with the airline to get easier access to its inventory.
That BA, in that same Barclaycard poll, also was voted among the top low cost airlines in Europe - thanks no doubt to its drastically cut fares - and that Iberia and possibly Lufthansa are considering entering the low cost market to try and counter the fierce and relentless competition from the no frills operators are also testaments to Mr Webster's grand achievement.
BTE wishes him well in his retirement.
