IAG is incredibly well managed. Their 2017 operating profit margin was the best for a mainline carrier in Europe and on a par with Delta. Willie Walsh is a very smart guy, and an airline guy through and through (he started as a pilot at Aer Lingus).

BA’s CEO (ex-Vueling) is out of touch but Alex Cruz isn’t making the bid for Norwegian. Again, BA is now just a subsidiary of IAG. A major one, the major one. But a subsidiary nonetheless.
