British Mediterranean Airways is a wholly independent airline operating under a franchise agreement with British Airways. The airline flies from the United Kingdom to cities in Central Asia, Africa, Southwest Asia, and Russia

British Mediterranean Airways began operations in October 1994 with an Airbus A320 flying from London (Heathrow) to Beirut. The airline competed with British Airways until the 1997 franchise agreement under which the airline now flies its routes without BA competition and in BA colours.

By March 2002 the airline's fleet had expanded to four Airbus A320s and two A321s. British Mediterranean flies the 124 seat A320, and 149 seat A321, in two class configuration (Club World and World Traveller).
