    I was kid when the British Airways ad used to play here in New Zealand. I used to run to the TV and turn it up cos I loved it so much lol even after the ad stopped running, I never forgot this song, it was emblazened into my mind as a child. Yeaaars later when the internet became a thing I finally came to know the name of the song and it's origins and am now able to listen to it as often as I want and it takes me right back to being a kid turning up the volume of the television trying to sing along 😵😂

    Having worn a BA uniform on our aircraft, and welcoming our passengers aboard with a genuine smile and heart... My colleagues were all the same. That's why we were the World's favourite. We were sooooo proud of being BA staff. Still hearing the Flower Duet gives me chills

      BA simply lost their identity - their Britishness and being so proud of being the worlds favourite airline.

      In 1989, McLaren and composer Yanni arranged the "Flower Duet" into a work called "Aria on Air". The "Flower Duet" theme, taken from the French opera Lakmé by Léo Delibes, had already been used by composer Howard Blake[28] to accompany British Airways commercials since 1984. However, from 1989 McLaren and Yanni further arranged the "Flower Duet" and it featured in BA's "World's Favourite Airline" global advertising campaign of the 1980s and 1990s
