With both British Airways (BA) and Iberia struggling to compete with low-cost airlines Ryanair (RY4C) and easyJet (EZJ), BA shareholders approved a £5bn merger between the two companies, forming the world’s then sixth-largest airline. The merger was finalised in January 2011, with IAG created to act as the group’s holding company. 

The group rapidly expanded by making a series of high-profile acquisitions. In 2012, IAG bought British Midland International (BMI) from Lufthansa (LHA) for £172.5m. The purchase enabled IAG to increase its share of slots at Heathrow airport from 45% to 54%. 

IAG’s growth accelerated further with the purchase of Vueling in 2013, Aer Lingus in 2015 and Air Europa in 2021 among others. In 2020, the group employed more than 60,000 staff and had a fleet of 533 aircraft, flying to 279 destinations worldwide.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic led to catastrophic losses within the aviation industry, and IAG was no exception. For the financial year (FY) 2020, the group reported total revenues of €7.87bn, a decrease of 69.2% on FY 2019, and an operating loss of €4.37bn. IAG also saw its passenger capacity decrease by 66.5% compared to the previous year.

The stock hit a record high of £7.26 a share on 22 June 2018. It then lost its upward momentum and started trending lower, eventually falling to £4.19 on 18 August. The share price then began to rise, reaching £6.84 a share on 12 January 2020, only to quickly shed most of its gains in the following months as a result of COVID-19. On 27 September, the IAG share price closed the trading session at £0.91, a fall of more than 86% from its January high. The drop could be attributed to the continuing bans on non-essential travel which were implemented at the beginning of the global pandemic. The company’s stock then started to recover, climbing to £2.17 a share by 7 April 2021 before plunging to £1.89 on 17 May. The IAG share price ended 28 May at £2.02.

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
