BA’s Walsh says airline continues to eye Iberia
24 March 2008British Airways has confirmed it is continuing to consider a potential bid for Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana.
A BA spokesman said the UK flag carrier was keeping the possibility of a bid for Iberia ”under review” following a report in which BA chief executive Willie Walsh said he had not ruled out an approach for the Spanish flag carrier.
BA is particularly interested in Iberia because a tie-up would give it greater access to South America, a region to which it only runs 10 flights a week from Heathrow.
