British Airways has become the latest airline to drop the traditional passenger greeting in favor of inclusive language. The airline company announced it has made a move to “reflect the diversity” of those travelling, which has been inspired by the larger number of LGBTQ+ passengers, particularly trans and non-binary people, opting to travel abroad. In a press statement they said, “We celebrate diversity and inclusion and we’re committed to ensuring that all our customers feel welcome when travelling with us.” Air Malta, EasyJet, Japan Airlines, Delta, JetBlue, United and American Airlines are a few airlines that have all already made the change. Last month, Air Malta also announced that it also be opting for gender-neutral greetings.
