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. This ownership converts to £1.2 billion ($1.7 billion) stake in International Consolidated Airlines Group SA, the owner of the British Airways and Iberia airlines.
IAG stands for the International Airlines Group and is one of the world’s largest airline groups.
IAG: n EU: n ulkopuolisille osakkeenomistajille, Qatar Airways mukaan lukien, sovelletaan EU: n ulkopuolisen omistuksen yleistä ylärajaa, koska EU: n lentoyhtiöiden on oltava EU: n osakkeenomistajien enemmistöomistuksessa. Qatar Airways saattaa harkita omistuksensa kasvattamista ajan myötä, vaikka tämän ei tällä hetkellä ole tarkoitus ylittää 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.
Recently competitor Etihad Airways based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates announced a 49% ownership of Alitalia.
