British Airways (BA) is the nation’s flag carrier.
In the 1990s was the world’s most profitable air carriers in the world, UK’s largest airline and boldly claiming to be “The World’s Favourite Airline”. (wikipedia)
However, it has:
- an operating loss of £342m (apr – dec 2009) with a £3.7 bn pension deficit.
- no longer UK’s largest airline by passengers, this has passed on to Easyjet.
- continually mentioned in the press about staff problems and the infamous Terminal 5 launch in march 2009 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7704846.stm), (wikipedia).
What has happened to this almighty airline?
In 1998, Waterside became its new Global headquarters (HQ).

It has a very complicated building outline. From the feng shui perspective, the occupants of this building will have an extremely difficult time running their business.
Certainly, BA has had no end of problems and will continue to have as along as they use Waterside as their HQ.
Its previous CEO Sir Rod Eddington (2000-2006) is quoted in saying: “I’ve had a lot of luck at BA – all of it bad.”
Complicated building outlines are examples of poor feng shui. The next posting, I will show successful corporates who have the ideal feng shui building outline.
