BA passengers can take stock of share prices before they take off at Heathrow's Terminal one

Date 25/01/1999

Business travellers through Terminal One at London's Heathrow airport can, from Monday January 25, access London Stock Exchange market prices and company news - in real time in British Airways' business lounges. The new service provides information on over 3,000 listed companies from more than 60 countries worldwide. It is available free of charge to British Airways business flyers - many of who are executives of listed companies. The first computer terminals, provided by Reuters and Datastream/ICV, will be installed in the Domestic and European Lounges at Heathrow's Terminal one. Later in the year the Exchange plans to extend the service to BA lounges in Terminal Four. Business passengers will be able to access the latest news on all the companies quoted on the London Stock Exchange, view real-time prices for these stocks, check stock market indices and exchange rates, and catch up on other major news from around the world.
