British Airways Owner IAG Completes €500m Takeover of Air Europa
International Airlines Group (IAG), the parent company of British Airways and Iberia, has finalized its acquisition of Spanish carrier Air Europa for €500 million. The deal secures the remaining 80% of the airline that IAG did not already own. This strategic purchase aims to transform Madrid's airport into a major European hub, boosting its competitiveness against hubs like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Paris. The acquisition strengthens IAG's position in the European market and on routes to Latin America. The deal will likely face a review by European competition regulators.
