Spanish Practice erosion of British Airways
So IAG, which is the Spanish owner of the UK national carrier BA, is investing money to make MAD a true rival of LHR (which means IB, Vueling etc vs BA). It is all pretty clear.
Is the UK government going to allow this?
Does the UK Gov want to protect the UK economy and UK jobs?
I genuinely believe the
UK Gov needs to move quickly to avoid permanent damage to the flag carrier and therefore to the UK Economy.
