IAG queda al margen de la última concentración aérea en Europa

IAG, the parent company of Iberia, Vueling and British Airways, remains outside of the latest European airline consolidation despite slow progress in the region. The Spanish airline made a £1.033 billion profit in the first half of the year, yet its net debt stands at £4.692 billion. IAG had faced two rejections from Brussels to acquire Air Europa for £1 billion and later attempted to buy Portuguese carrier TAP, but ultimately abandoned the process in April.

Apollo's acquisition of easyJet for £5.7 billion sees the majority stake in the British low-cost carrier pass to Apollo, marking a notable development in the sector.
