It is unusual, but I would guess driven by legal constraints over timing of such announcements in different jurisdictions. I suppose a political angle to exert some sort of pressure on the UK govt is possible, but IAG has pretty high level govt access in the UK without conducting its business in public. Still we are in a time when nothing is normal...it’s terrible news for the staff, and for the industry.
