There the team will compete in a host of sports including Athletics, Archery, Wheelchair Basketball, Cycling, Powerlifting, Indoor Rowing; Wheelchair Rugby; Swimming, Sitting Volleyball, Wheelchair Tennis and - a new sport for 2018 - Sailing.
It's not the only sports-related partnership which the airline has announced this year - back in August the company revealed it had become an official partner to England Rugby .
BA will also be flying The Kingdom Choir, who performed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding earlier this year and are set to take part in a special performance at the closing ceremony of the games.
Jayne Kavanagh, of Help for Heroes and Team UK Chef de Mission, said: "Flying home with the airline that carries our flag will be a fantastic way to celebrate the achievements of Team UK, and the role sport is playing in their recovery journeys.
"We look forward to an exciting and hopefully successful Invictus Games and are delighted to be partnering with British Airways."
Meanwhile Carolina Martinoli, British Airways’ Director of Brand and Customer Experience, commented: "It’s an honour to fly the nation’s heroes and be the official airline of Team UK.
"The Invictus Games inspire us all through the competitors’ determination and courage and we want to give the team the best possible start to their Invictus Games journey. It will be a monumental and proud occasion and British Airways is thrilled to be part of it."
