Fuel prices can only benefit IAG in the long term, they are tied into current prices but will be buying options long term at these rates. Air fares will follow suit in the fullness of time, I don't think.

International Consolidated Airlines Group S.A.'s (IAG) proposal to make an offer for Aer Lingus Group plc, announced on 27 January, 2015, highlighted the importance of direct air services and connectivity for investment and tourism in Ireland.

IAG believes its proposal would secure and strengthen Aer Lingus' long term future and brand as a member of a successful and profitable European airline group, offering significant benefits to both Aer Lingus and its customers.

To secure the support of the Irish Government, IAG is proposing to offer legally binding commitments that go well beyond the protections currently available to the Government and would give it an important role in securing the future of Aer Lingus.

The proposed commitments would ensure that, unless there is explicit Irish Government agreement:

· Aer Lingus' 23 slot pairs at London Heathrow ("Heathrow Slots"), cannot be sold, including to other IAG airlines;

· Aer Lingus' name, head office location or place of incorporation in the Republic of Ireland, cannot be changed.

· In addition, IAG is prepared to offer a further commitment to operate the slots on Irish routes for five years. This is protection that the Government does not have today.

Willie Walsh, IAG chief executive, said: "We are committed to maintaining and strengthening Aer Lingus. We want to develop air services that ensure Ireland's connectivity is enhanced. In seeking the support of the Irish Government, we propose to offer it legally binding commitments that go well beyond the protections currently available to it. These commitments would give the Irish Government an important role that they do not have today in securing the future of Aer Lingus."

The commitments and giving greater powers to the Irish Government will be subject to Irish Takeover Rules and EU competition review, following consultation with IAG.



IAG has spelled out other key benefits from its proposal:

· Aer Lingus would operate as a separate business with its own brand, management and operations, continuing to provide connectivity to Ireland, while benefitting from the scale of being part of the larger group;

· Aer Lingus would join the oneworld alliance, of which British Airways and Iberia are key members; and

· Aer Lingus would join the joint business that IAG operates over the North Atlantic with American Airlines, leveraging the natural traffic flows between Ireland and the US and the advantageous geographical position of Dublin for serving connecting flows. This is significantly enhanced by US immigration pre-clearance.

May explain the spike yesterday as the US opened.



Doha, Qatar - As part of efforts to enhance operations and strengthen existing commercial ties initiated through codeshare agreements with IAG as well as its membership of the oneworld alliance, Qatar Airways has acquired a 9.99% stake in IAG.

Non-EU shareholders of IAG including Qatar Airways are subject to an overall cap on non-EU ownership as a result of the requirement for EU airlines to be majority owned by EU shareholders. Qatar Airways may consider increasing its stake further over time although this is not currently intended to exceed 9.99%.

"IAG represents an excellent opportunity to further develop our Westwards strategy. Having joined the oneworld alliance it makes sense for us to work more closely together in the near term and we look forward to forging a long term relationship" said His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways.

International Consolidated Airlines Group, SA ("IAG") confirms it has submitted an improved proposal to make an offer for Aer Lingus. The proposal consists of an offer of €2.55 per share, structured as a cash payment of €2.50 per share, payable upon completion, in addition to an ordinary dividend of €0.05 per share. The proposal is subject to certain pre-conditions.
The Board of Aer Lingus has indicated to IAG that the financial terms of the proposal are at a level at which it would be willing to recommend to Aer Lingus shareholders, subject to being satisfied with the manner in which IAG proposes to address the interests of relevant parties. Accordingly the Board of Aer Lingus has granted IAG access to perform a limited period of confirmatory due diligence.
It is IAG's intention that under its ownership, Aer Lingus would:

§ operate as a separate business with its own brand, management and operations, continuing to provide connectivity to Ireland, while benefitting from the scale of being part of the larger IAG group;

§ join the oneworld alliance, of which British Airways and Iberia are key members; and

§ join the joint business that IAG operates over the North Atlantic with American Airlines, leveraging the natural traffic flows between Ireland and the US and the advantageous geographical position of Dublin for serving connecting flows.

IAG believes that the proposal would secure and strengthen Aer Lingus's brand and long term future within a successful and profitable European airline group, offering significant benefits to both Aer Lingus and its customers.

IAG recognises the importance of direct air services and air route connectivity for investment and tourism in Ireland and intends to engage with the Irish Government in order to secure its support for the transaction.

A further statement will be made if and when appropriate.
