CEO UPDATE & OUTLOOK

LUIS GALLEGO, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

  • Manchester base to open September 2021: UK AOC approved, largely variable cost base, code-share with British Airways
  • Progressing integration into Atlantic Joint Business
  • Replacement of Stobart Air on regional routes initially by Aer Lingus mainline and BA CityFlyer in 2021 and subsequently by Emerald Airlines
  • Closure of Shannon cabin crew base announced
  • Reduction and review of handling arrangements at Shannon and Cork
  • Negotiating with other labour groups (agreement with pilots reached)
  • New cabin hand-baggage policy to increase ancillary revenue and support punctuality

  • Profitable and cash generative throughout the pandemic (customers still spending on non-airline partners)

  • Customer spend on UK co-branded credit card higher in June than 2019 due to more customers and growth in goods and services spend
  • Successful launch with new partners Barclays Premier, Sainsbury's/Nectar and Santander
  • Significant customer enhancements e.g. doubling number of Guaranteed Avios Reward Seats on BA and Iberia flights
  • New Avios collection partnerships to be announced in 2H21 in UK and Spain – e.g. BPme Rewards in UK

S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y

Continuing to lead the airline industry on tackling climate change

IAG upgraded by the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) to A- in recognition of our carbon management strategy. IAG is the only European airline group that has been awarded this top grade

British Airways launch of two sustainabilitylinked financings:

  • UK Export Finance loan
  • First ever sustainability-linked EETC (coupon steps up by 25bps after 5 years if carbon efficiency target is not reached by the end of 2025)

Iberia and Repsol agreement that includes development of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), production of electricity and renewable hydrogen to decarbonise Iberia's ground vehicles and development of more sustainable buildings and facilities using artificial intelligence

British Airways and partners shortlisted for UK government funding for four ground-breaking projects to decarbonise aviation:

  • Velocys Altalto project to build a commercial waste-to-SAF plant
  • LanzaJet and Nova Pangaea collaboration, to convert waste wood into alcohol and then into SAF
  • LanzaTech project to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into SAF
  • LanzaJet project to produce SAF from waste and industrial gases

O U T L O O K

Confident of a meaningful recovery in demand

In the short term our focus is on ensuring operational readiness for a recovery in demand

Some positive government actions to reduce travel restrictions

More government action required to enable travel

  • Group capacity expected to be c.45% of 2019 levels in 3Q but significantly higher than c.20% in 1H 2021
  • Iberia and Vueling capacity in 3Q above Group average at c.70%
  • Operationally ready to fly up to c.75% of 2019 capacity in 4Q to take advantage of a later summer leisure season

  • UK (17 May) and Ireland (19 July) have lifted bans on non-essential travel

  • EU is open for fully vaccinated US travellers
  • Increasingly fully vaccinated travellers allowed without the need to quarantine/test
  • Good progress with health digital passes (e.g. UK NHS app and EU Digital COVID Certificate) and integrated with passenger locator forms

  • Travel corridors where vaccination roll-out has been successful (e.g. US/UK and US/EU)

  • Harmonisation of restrictions across Europe (EU, UK) and consistent criteria to determine Green/Amber/Red countries
  • Further extension of furlough programmes

C O N C L U S I O N S

Set to emerge from COVID-19 in a stronger competitive position

61

Significant improvement Liquidity is strong in operating cash flow in 2Q vs previous quarters

IAG and its airlines have devoted significant resources to ensure that when demand returns we are able to capitalise

We have accelerated the digitisation of our business

There is widespread pent-up demand when restrictions are lifted

We are preparing the business so we can emerge stronger and more competitive in a structurally changed industry

We continue leading the industry's efforts to make flying sustainable

APPENDICES

G O V E R N M E N T A C T I O N S R E Q U I R E D T O O P E N T R AV E L

Some progress on governments actions but more needed

Enabler Required actions Progress
Legal barriers
Harmonised EU roadmap to air travel re-start

Ending of penalties in UK and Ireland for non-essential travel

Repeal of US entry ban for UK, Schengen and Ireland citizens

Coordinated approach to restriction of free movement within the EU/external arrivals required

UK and Ireland travel ban lifted

All UK/EU entry to US still banned
Traffic Light
systems

Harmonised across Europe (EU, UK)

Consistent criteria to determine Green, Amber, Red countries

Travel corridors between Green countries/regions (e.g. UK/US)

Islands and regions to be treated on their own merits not the national classification

Official travel advice to align with traffic light tiers

Not harmonised; individual approaches still taken

Despite EU published criteria, individual countries still applying their own rules; no clarity on UK criteria

No mutual agreements in place with the UK

Yes for UK (e.g. Balearic Islands 24 June to 19 July)

Not fully implemented (e.g. France and Italy)
Testing
Testing to replace quarantines

More affordable, simpler (lateral flow replacing PCR), faster and proportionate

Vaccinated travellers to travel without quarantine

Unvaccinated travellers to travel with testing

Some quarantines still in place, as well as testing requirements on top, although increasingly vaccinated passengers exempt

Lateral flow becoming industry standards vs PCR, but IAG home countries still require PCR

Increasingly countries are allowing vaccinated passengers to be exempt from quarantine (no quarantine in Spain; vaccinated
passengers no quarantine in Ireland or in UK if arriving from lower risk, "amber"/green" countries)

Quarantines remain for many countries
Airports and
Borders

Re-opening of e-gates

Improved border control resourcing and processes to handle volume recovery

Reopened and integrated with the passenger locator form in the UK and in Spain

UK Border Force delays reduced due sampling of health credentials instead of 100% compliance checks, resources
vulnerable to "pingdemic"
Digital passes
Vaccination and testing certificates captured in industry apps

Passenger locator apps integrated with border control and industry apps

Global agreement on a digital standard for testing and vaccination documentation

Good progress with industry apps and airline systems on testing certificates, but issues with standardisation/authenticity of
original certificate remain. EU Digital COVID Certificate agreed in June but multiple approaches to its implementation

Yes in some countries (e.g. UK, Spain)

No progress globally, UK-EU app standards based on same architecture making implementation simple when policy is agreed

By their nature, they involve risk and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements often use words such as "expects", "may", "will", "could", "should", "intends", "plans", "predicts", "envisages" or "anticipates" or other words of similar meaning. They include, without limitation, any and all projections relating to the results of operations and financial conditions of International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. and its subsidiary undertakings from time to time (the 'Group'), as well as plans and objectives for future operations, expected future revenues, financing plans, expected expenditure and divestments relating to the Group and discussions of the Group's business plan. All forward-looking statements in this announcement are based upon information known to the Group on the date of this announcement and speak as of the date of this announcement. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations, the Group does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in this announcement as a result of any number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainties about its impact and duration, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Group, and it is not reasonably possible to itemise each item.
