Dr Sentance joined BA in 1998 from the London Business School where he was director of the centre for economic forecasting. As the carrier's chief economist he advises BA on global economic developments, corporate strategy and regulatory issues. He was one of the architects of the carrier's "Future, Size and Shape" turnaround plan in 2001 which "restored BA's profitability after the 9/11 terrorist attacks", said the carrier.
