The International Airlines Group, which includes British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Vueling, recorded a profit of 133 million euros in the second quarter of the current year.
This means that after a long "dry dry spell" we have returned to the profit zone. Sales were 5,9 billion euros. Around 2022 million passengers were transported in the second quarter of 25,6. In a direct comparison with the same period of the previous year, the increase was about fivefold.
The International Airlines Group (IAG) has issued a cautious forecast for the full year. This is due to the acute staff shortage at various European airports, particularly London Heathrow. As a result, British Airways can only offer approximately 75 percent of its pre-crisis service level. Group-wide, the company is currently operating at 80 percent and expects this to reach approximately 85 percent by the end of the year. In the second quarter of 2021, IAG posted a loss of around one billion euros.
