Liquidity remains strong

Cash operating costs more than halved

  • 1,115 cargo-driven flights
  • Employee cost reduction
    • Wage support schemes in UK, Spain and Ireland
    • Salary cuts across the Group
    • Initial BA restructuring
  • Non-essential discretionary spending remains suspended (e.g. IT excluding cybersecurity, recruitment, training, marketing, T&E, etc.)

1) Reducing fixed cost base • Restructuring and right-sizing benefits • Wage support schemes in Spain and Ireland • Right-size the supply chain 2) Increasing variability of costs • New BA employee conditions • Vueling pilot and cabin crew agreements: change in employee cost

  • linked to changes in capacity

Significant savings from employee restructuring at Aer Lingus and BA

Employee restructuring initiatives

Airline Initiatives

Benefit from Ireland's furlough scheme (CTWSS) since April

Hours and pay cuts for all staff from April 2020 –

9,620 employees have left as of end October through a combination of voluntary (c.80%) and compulsory redundancies that have been agreed with the
major employee groups. A further 180 employees are expected to leave by early 2021.

Annual employee cost savings are expected to be 30%

In addition, BA has significantly enhanced flexibility to vary employee costs should air travel demand remain depressed (19,000 out of 28,000 UK
employees with layoff and short-time working clauses)

Main outstanding area to be addressed is cargo handling

Spanish ERTE allows airlines to better match employee costs with capacity

Outlook

Luis Gallego, Chief Executive Officer

Infection rates driving increased government restrictions

Weighted COVID-19 case rate (July-October 2020)

to the strictest tier

Note: Cumulative number for previous 14 days of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 for IAG's top 14 countries, weighted by 2019 revenue Source: European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control

IAG's home markets among the most restrictive in Europe

Degrees of restriction by market: inbound and outbound

Allowed with restrictions Not allowed with exceptions for nationals/residents Allowed without restrictions

Note: as of 26 October 2020

  • (1) Foreign passengers are only allowed to travel to Dubai, not to the rest of the country
  • (2) Travel from Canary Islands to UK/Germany allowed without restrictions
  • (3) Flights to these destinations are currently suspended, even though entry of Not analysed foreigners might be permitted under certain circumstances

Demand reacts positively when restrictions are removed

British Airways revenue intakes to Canary Islands for travel between October 2020-January 2021

Slower resumption in capacity in response to flat demand

2020 current capacity planning scenario (absolute 2020 and proportion of 2019 ASKs)

    • Continue to deal with the impacts of COVID-19
