IAG pulls out of trade body over Gulf carriers spat - FT.com

IAG pulls out of trade body over Gulf carriers spat - FT.com:



"International Airlines Group has walked away from the European airlines trade body because of a spat over the threat posed by the fast-expanding Gulf carriers.



The parent company of the UK flag carrier British Airways and the Spanish airline Iberia said on Thursday that it had pulled out because of a difference of opinion with other members of the Association of European Airlines.



Qatar Airways became the largest shareholder in IAG when it bought a near 10 per cent stake in January, and the UK-based airline group has taken a conciliatory line with the Gulf carriers led by Emirates Airline."
