Share this:
British Airway’s parent company IAG are expected to report final results tomorrow. The results come as the share prices plunges to a 4-month low after having shed 20% of its value this week and 10% of its value today.
News that the Court of Appeal has found plans for a third runway at Heathrow unlawful sent the share price sharply lower on Thursday.
The news added pressure to the airline, which is already on the back-foot owing to the impact of coronavirus and the anticipation of lower demand globally.
British Airways joined other airlines in suspending flights to a and from mainland China back in January. Today BA has cancelled some flights to and from Milan, Italy and Seoul, South Korea as a result of reduced demand.
Investors will be almost solely focused on commentary on the impact of coronavirus in IAG's outlook. It will be very difficult for the airline to quantify the expected impact, but we are certain that they will attempt to. Disruption in the first quarter is expected to be significant but the effects could easily spill over into the second quarter and beyond.
So far, Air France KLM has said that it expects to lose €150 - €200 million should flights to Asia be suspended until April. A similar number from IAG could be in the pipeline.
