Bluetooth does not. Whether SBC or aptX, it will be lossy compression.
range is the only other big plus for Airplay. You can extend it as far as you can extend your network (aka, i was able to use a VPN to Airplay from home to work-no real reason other than to try it)
Potentially stupid question, but:
Is there anything I get with AirPlay that I wouldn't get with BT?
Is the advantage not multipoint access? With BT you can only play one speaker at the time. With Airplay there's no limit.
Oddly enough, this only works with iTunes: choose multiple speakers as output and you can fill your house with music. iOS does not support this.

Airplay uses lossless transmission.

The answer to this is:
Select your speakers in iTunes.
Use Remote app on iOS to control iTunes.
Result: Multipoint speakers from iOS.
