Abstract: In this paper, the concept of Birkhoff--James orthogonality of operators on a Hilbert space is generalized when a semi-inner product is considered. More precisely, for linear operators T and S on a complex Hilbert space mathcalH, a new relation TperpABS is defined if T and S are bounded with respect to the seminorm induced by a positive operator A satisfying |T+gammaS|Ageq|T|A for all gammainmathbbC. We extend a theorem due to R. Bhatia and P. v{S}emrl, by proving that TperpABS if and only if there exists a sequence of A-unit vectors xn in mathcalH such that displaystylelimnightarrow+infty|Txn|A=|T|A and displaystylelimnightarrow+inftylangleTxn,SxnangleA=0. In addition, we give some A-distance formulas. Particularly, we prove �egin{align*} displaystyle{inf_{gamma in mathbb{C}}}{|T + gamma S|}_{A} = supBig{|{langle Tx, y angle}_A|; , {|x|}_{A} = {|y|}_{A} = 1, , {langle Sx, y angle}_A = 0Big}. end{align*} Some other related results are also discussed.
