Callsign BAW is British Airways

WHAT AIRLINE IS BAW?

BAW is the ICAO three-letter callsign prefix for British Airways. When a radio scanner, flight tracker or radar scope shows a flight like BAW123 or BAW45XY overhead, that's a British Airways aircraft talking to air traffic control.

Spot one yourself: open the live scope, enter your postcode, and tap any blip whose callsign starts with BAW for its type, registration, route and photo.
