British Airways ‘insults’ Britons

The controversy emerged just days before the 43rd anniversary of Britain’s victory in the Falklands War

British Airways has come under fire for displaying the Argentinian name for the Falkland Islands’ capital on its in-flight entertainment systems.

The national carrier shows Port Stanley as Puerto Argentino, with the British name appearing only in brackets below.

The controversy emerged just days before the 43rd anniversary of Britain’s victory in the Falklands War, adding to the sensitivity surrounding the naming dispute.

Foxnwolf comments;

Who is going to be fired / fined / contract ended etc, etc. Boycott this airline to teach them a lesson. Finally we still have a missing Royal Marine out there. I think its only fair that BA foot the entire bill for trying to find him..
