Following the announcement by the Group that it had exercised its option to
redeem all of its outstanding E390 million 1.75 per cent convertible bonds due
2018, in June 2016 all remaining bondholders exercised their option to
exchange their convertible bonds for ordinary shares, resulting in the
issuance of 91,981,118 new shares. 
 
In the six months to June 30, 2016, the Group issued bonds totalling E49
million; E11 million 2.5 per cent coupon repayable in 2018, and E38 million
2.5 per cent coupon repayable in 2019. 
 
16.           SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 
 
During the period 5,125,613 nil-cost options were awarded, under the Group's
Performance Share Plan (PSP) to key senior executives and selected members of
the wider management team. No payment is due upon the vesting of the shares.
The fair value of equity-settled share options granted is estimated as at the
date of the award using the Monte-Carlo model, taking into account the terms
and conditions upon which the options were awarded, or based on the share
price at the date of grant, dependent on the performance criteria attached.
The following are the inputs to the model for the PSP options granted in the
year: 
 
Expected share price volatility: 30 per cent 
 
Expected life of options: 3 years 
 
Weighted average share price: £5.41 
 
The Group also made awards under the Group's Incentive Award Deferral Plan
during the period, under which 1,915,957 conditional shares were awarded. 
 
17.           EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS 
 
The Group operates two principal funded defined benefit pension schemes in the
UK, the Airways Pension Scheme (APS) and the New Airways pension scheme
(NAPS), both of which are closed to new members.

At June 30, 2016, the assumptions used to determine the obligations under the
APS and NAPS were reviewed and updated to reflect market conditions at that
date. The change in assumptions has resulted in a charge to Other
comprehensive income of E1,256 million (net of tax). Key assumptions were as
follows: 
 
                                                                                                                                                                                            APS           NAPS

   Pension contributions for APS and NAPS were determined by an actuarial valuation made as at March 31, 2012 using assumptions and methodologies agreed with the Trustees of each scheme.  
 
 
The Group is currently in discussions with the Trustees of the APS and NAPS
over the latest actuarial valuations as at March 31, 2015. Although
discussions have been constructive, further work is required beyond June 30,
2016 (the date set by the statutory framework) to finalise the valuations and
conclude a satisfactory agreement.

19.           CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 
 
The Group has certain contingent liabilities and guarantees, which at June 30,
2016 amounted to E125 million (December 31, 2015: E172 million). No material
losses are likely to arise from such contingent liabilities and guarantees.
The Group also had the following claims: 
 
Cargo 
 
The Group is party to a number of legal proceedings in the English courts
relating to a decision by the European Commission in 2010 which fined British
Airways and ten other airline groups for participating in a cartel in respect
of air cargo prices. The decision was partially annulled as against British
Airways following an appeal to the general court of the European Union and the
fine was refunded in full. It is not yet clear what the European Commission's
next steps will be. The original decision has led to a large number of
claimants seeking, in proceedings brought in the English courts, to recover
damages from British Airways which they claim arise from the alleged cartel
activity. It is not possible at this stage to predict the outcome of the
proceedings, which British Airways will vigorously defend. British Airways has
joined the other airlines alleged to have participated in cartel activity to
these proceedings to contribute to such damages, if any awarded. 
 
The Group is also party to similar litigation in a number of other
jurisdictions including Germany, the Netherlands and Canada together with a
number of other airlines. At present, the outcome of the proceedings is
unknown. In each case, the precise effect, if any, of the alleged cartelising
activity on the claimants will need to be assessed. 
 
We are currently unable to determine whether the Group has an existing
obligation as a result of the past event. 
 
Other 
 
A number of other lawsuits and regulatory proceedings are pending, the outcome
of which in the aggregate is not expected to have a material effect on the
Group's financial position or results of operations. 
 
20.           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
