<p>Alex Cruz, British Airways chairman and chief executive, said he was “surprised and disappointed” by the proposal from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).</p>
<p>Willie Walsh, boss of the British Airways’ parent company International Airlines Group, pledged to “defend the airline’s position vigorously, including making any necessary appeals”.</p>
<p>The ICO has indicated that it plans to impose a penalty of £183.4 million, which represents 1.5% of the airline’s annual turnover.</p>
