they do supply european airlines, not just BA.
Gillian, UNIQ invested in Solarsoft's ERP system to streamline production for M&S and British Airways :-

but UNIQ will only stop supplying BA from April 2010 onwards. NFDS won the contract to supply BA from then onwards :-

as far as i know, everything UNIQ has promised since the recession started, has been delivered(so far). especially the disposal of the european businesses which was the most important move in order to return to profitability. only the netherlands business is left to be disposed, i believe, but that business is in profit, last i checked. so UNIQ still doesn't look like it is in any immediate danger. the market reaction was just silly panic executed without clear thought. to me, that's a great because it flushes out investors who didn't study the company well enough... =) and the market will always bounce back when investors finally think things through clearly.
gosh, this recapitulation is definitely jogging my memory back on the research i've done for UNIQ! lol...
