To be fair, that's what most people call them.

Hardly anyone says "British Airways". They're just called BA, like you'd say the US, instead of United States.

I'm not from the UK, but I understand if the abbreviation doesn't make initial sense to someone outside Europe.

I am in Europe and it made no sense to me. BA could stand for anything. Like for example capital city of my country.
