International Airlines Group (IAG): news on Monday 2 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Monday morning, 2 November 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was mixed: British Airways announced new routes including Colombo and winter services, and attention turned to upcoming results after a fleet rollout. Against that, a BA flight returning with a landing gear warning produced several negative safety reports.
What drove it
- BA route expansion
- landing gear emergency
- upcoming results
