Issue ,may be with BA as its owned by IAG and that will have to be >50 % owned by EU citizens whoch may mean Gulf investment comes under scruitiny. UK Govt may demand any UK airline is majority owned by UK citizens which could be an issue and force divestment.Likely BA may concentrate solely on LH and IAG elements do EU flights.
