    From: British Airways Customer Relations <[email protected]> Date: 17 April 2015 at 10:49 Subject: Your Response from BA Customer Relations To: [email protected] **Please DO NOT reply directly to this email by using the ‘reply’ function on your personal email settings, as it WILL NOT be received. If you wish to send us a reply please use the link at the bottom of the email** Dear Mr Dial Thank you for your letter dated 26 March addressed to Silla Maizey and the Executive Chairman, Keith Williams about been downgraded on flight BA0191 on 13 March. Keith has asked me to reply to you on his behalf and so this is not a standard email. I apologise on behalf of British Airways for not contacting you proactively about this matter and for the delay in my personal response. I see from your booking that you purchased the ticket to Austin on 04 November 2014 through you travel agent Opodo. I completely understand your frustration at booking this ticket so far in advance and arriving at the airport to find you've been downgraded from the Club World cabin. I hope our staff explained that there are occasions where our customers make a booking and then don’t turn up for their flight. We, along with other airlines, have an overbooking policy, which helps us avoid flying with empty seats and means we can keep the cost of our fares down. Ultimately this means we can fly a lot more passengers to their destinations. We collect data about how many people don’t turn up for each flight and we use this information to tell us if we should book more passengers than there are seats.

Above all we have tried to create the right internal governance structure to support our dynamic and highly successful business model, led by a holding company and formed of independent airlines with their own brands and operations. The Group was born as the product of a merger of two companies, with structures inevitably complex due to airline- specific regulations and the particular circumstances of both companies. Since then, the Group has grown to include two new airlines and has evolved as a distinct entity to those originally merged companies. Our job as a Board has been to look progressively at ways to adapt to this new born entity and to its strategy and culture, simplifying the initial structures so that we have the flexibility that this dynamic business needs. I’m “As this report testifies, the last five pleased to report that this work has been largely very successful. years have been a momentous time for Proof of that fact came during the year with the successful International Airlines Group and all its acquisition and integration of Aer Lingus, our fourth operating operating companies and, as you’d expect, airline alongside British Airways, Iberia and Vueling.
