That was British Airtours... But they were a wholly owned subsidiary of BA at the time.

There was also a British Airways flight involved in mid-air in the 70's, but apparently the cause was ATC error.

All depends how you attribute the accident statistics- i.e does ATC error (or a previous hijack) mean an individual airline is any less safe?

BA would have been BOAC and BEA wouldn't they? I bet they've had a few between them!

I am sure Angola air feature somewhere near the bottom of this list..

The link below is a google map of the airport in Luzamba, Angola which has at least 4 wrecked planes around the run way. Not a sight you want to see as you approach the airport!!

Luzamba airport: plane-wreck central
