British Airways has won the Best Transatlantic Airline Award at the World Airline Awards 2009 which took place at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg.

Apart from the Best Transatlantic Airline Award, British Airways also received top five placements in the following categories: Best Premium Economy, Best Business Class, Best Business Class Lounge and Best First Class Lounge for Heathrow.
