BA shorthaul peak summer holiday schedule larger than in summer 2019
Reflects 29 "peak summer holiday" leisure routes where the reason for travel > 70% holiday (Source: CAA survey) as of 19 July
| Aircraft readiness • Longhaul: • 5% fewer aircraft than 2019 (and smaller A321LR) • 82% operationally ready • Shorthaul: • 15% fewer aircraft than 2019 • 83% operationally ready |
Crew readiness • Pilots: Due to low level of flying 82% ready to fly. Pace of ramp up to maximum operations constrained due to training requirement, particularly on widebody. • Cabin crew: Enough to fly current capacity plan including peak maximum |

| • Longhaul: • 18% fewer aircraft than 2019 (and smaller) • 92% of fleet operationally ready • Shorthaul: • Similar number of aircraft to 2019 • 80% of fleet operationally ready |
• Pilots: All ready to fly, but c.15% fewer than 2019 • Cabin crew: Ready to fly up to maximum capacity, but c.30% fewer than 2019 |

*Permanently grounded aircraft excluded. Maximum capacity for Vueling requires re-activation of previously grounded aircraft
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:
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:
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
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
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)
| 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
| 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. Accordingly, readers of this announcement are cautioned against relying on forward-looking statements. Further information on the primary risks of the business and the Group's risk management process is set out in the Risk management and principal risk factors section in the Annual Report and Accounts 2020; these documents are available on www.iairgroup.com. All forward-looking statements made on or after the date of this announcement and attributable to IAG are expressly qualified in their entirety by the primary risks set out in that section.
