International Airlines Group (IAG): news on Thursday 12 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 12 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, with Aer Lingus diversion and pilot disputes, route cuts and Virgin Atlantic poaching BA frequent flyers weighing on sentiment. New BA routes and an upbeat share prediction offered some offset.
What drove it
- Aer Lingus diversion row
- BA route changes
- Virgin status-match rivalry
