BRITISH Airways has signed up with the Football
Association to be the official carrier for this summer’s World Cup and the 2004
European Championships.
BA’s first task will be to fly Sven Goran Eriksson and his
team, hopefully including captain David Beckham, to Dubai next month for a
training camp and then on to South Korea and Japan. The airline will use a dedicated
Boeing 777 for Michael Owen and his teammates.
The deal will also see BA fly the England team to Portugal
for the next European Championships, if they qualify.
