Apart from overpaying himself of course :-)

Agreed jailbird.
Also doubt that Walsh will overpay for anything !

Geopolitical issues are always potentially a risk to airlines.

IAG is cash rich....BA's pension scheme is closing and this will save BA and the group and extra 300-400m a year.

IAG is in a good place to ride out any geopolitical turbulence

The danger being that IAG pay too much for Norwegian, we'd certainly be paying over the odds for EZJ.

Markets hate uncertainty, we now face months of uncertainty as to whether IAG will attempt a take over. Also, Syria is another concern, the war of words shall continue, lets hope that things don't escalate into all out war!

Not sure where the share price shall go short term.

[m1k3y1] 13/4/2018 11:33

Unlikely IMO.
Norwegian is losing money at the moment.
Without a bid from IAG it will continue to lose money, risking another , lower bid, or no bid at all.

The only benefit here to IAG must be from group synergies and slot values. Of course there is also the benefit of taking out a competitor BUT is it worth spending 1.2B to do it ?

The one I am keeping my other eye on is EZJ, now that would be a good target for IAG.

Or make IAG pay a fuller price for a full takeover.

Norwegian completed two equity raises in March raising a total of NOK 1.5bn (£138m). IAG is now giving credibility to Norwegian, which the company lacked before, and this may allow Norwegian to make further equity issues at a much higher price."

Norwegian
British Airways-owner IAG says considering making offer for Norwegian

[philanderer] 11/4/2018 23:18

'British Airways to offer new basic fare on some long-haul routes'

Passengers paying cheaper rate will have to pay up to £80 to check baggage and £20 to select seat

And Jet2 were friendly and faultless. Not surprised at this news today...


UK airline Jet2 has been named Britain's best low-cost airline and the seventh best in the world, according to TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Awards.

British Airways, EasyJet, and Ryanair failed to make the grade in the travel planning and booking site's awards.

Flew Heathrow to Leeds yesterday afternoon. Flight rammed.... 35 minutes. 😀👍🏼

Will be using Jet2 for the first time ever on sunday for Leeds to Rome. On board breakfast pre booked and extra fee for guaranteed cabin luggage required with them

Shocking wage levels? IAG shall be paying the market rate, the likes of BA have no issues with recruitment, how many ex Monarch Pilots are we in the process of employing?

Passenger experience declines further? Depends upon what the passenger wants, fortunately the likes of BA are now pitching their product across the board from First Class down to a new completely no frills to compete with the likes of Norwegian...very clever!

[applepieinthesky] 07/3/2018 12:51

IAG has spent around €2billion on share but backs and dividends to inflate the share price but to the detriment of employees one example is the mixed fleet created in 2010 shocking wage levels in this day and age. As IAG expands it becomes more of a regime that is fueled by greed unfortunately the employee and passenger experience declines further.

[neilrich] 07/3/2018 11:54

Clearly loads happening to improve efficiency and the BA product. Personally I feel that the negative slant, reduction in seat width, is being over done by the media and that the passenger shall much prefer the new product.

[notimpressed] 06/3/2018 12:13

the americans want free trade only if they win, even before chump

[m1k3y1] 06/3/2018 11:38

Chlorinated chicken will be a big no no for me .
American meat , some of the worst in the world.

Come on Willie where's the next take over target !

[jailbird] 06/3/2018 11:17

Cannot read that but read it this morning at the clubOpen skies with US , concerns about this as Trump is offering a worse deal post BrexitIAG and Virgin affected This is posturing to get post Brexit deal on other things We will get Chlorinated chicken :-)It stinks

[m1k3y1] 05/3/2018 15:55

This isn't the best news though


The Chump effect !

[m1k3y1] 05/3/2018 15:49

770 would be lovely
BA stats down slightly but group as a whole doing well

[neilrich] 05/3/2018 15:22

Very good monthly stats released this afternoon...

Group traffic in February, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres, increased by 5.8 per cent versus February 2017; Group capacity measured in Available Seat Kilometres rose by 3.5 per cent

Also, Deutsche Bank reiterates BUY rating at the same time increasing the target price from 730p to 770p.

[chiefbrody] 26/2/2018 17:04

600p again. Seem to be saying that every other month!Practically a traders dream. Like most other stocks these days.

[sum493] 24/2/2018 00:20

debt is debt at the end of the day!!

[bookbroker] 23/2/2018 17:09

Who is the idiot worrying about the debt, the actual debt is in fact like an intangible asset in terms of the aircraft the company operates, and the terms are spread over many years, they effectively own those aircraft, so it is not like a non-performing debt!

[cashandcard] 23/2/2018 15:45

Looks like its heading for a test of 580p. May get some more if it holds.


Cash

[chiefbrody] 23/2/2018 12:24

Billion not a lot these days lol.All that cash/debt nets off (save for a billion). Leave you with a company valued at 12 Billion, yet making 2 Billion a year profit.Cheap.
