BA raises Iberia stake to 10%

Sunday, 16 Nov, 2006 0

British Airways has increased its shareholding in Iberia from nine to ten per cent.

The UK carrier has paid £13 million for around one per cent of the Spanish carrier held by American Airlines.

BA said: “The transaction is intended to preserve British Airways’ two seats on the Iberia board.”

The UK and US airlines – partners in the oneworld alliance – originally invested in Iberia seven years ago through a holding company. BA owns 90% of the holding company which in turn owns ten per cent of Iberia.
