i'm not sure why both IAG and EZJ are down so badly
IAG in particular had very good results within the last week, and certainly the fall looks overdone

is today's continuing weakness anything more than just general market malaise?

Increase of equity stake in International Consolidated Airlines Group, SA ("IAG")

17 May 2016

Doha, Qatar - Qatar Airways has today increased its shareholding in IAG to 15.01%. Qatar Airways has decided to further deepen its relationship with IAG and the increased stake recognises the strengthening commercial and strategic ties between the companies‎.

Qatar Airways believes IAG is very well positioned in Europe on the back notably of its attractive exposure to the Transatlantic segment, its leading positions at the London and Madrid hubs and the future benefits from the acquisition ‎of Aer Lingus. Qatar Airways fully supports this ongoing strategy.

Non-EU shareholders of IAG including Qatar Airways are subject to an overall cap on non-EU ownership as a result of the requirement for EU airlines to be majority owned by EU shareholders. Qatar Airways may consider increasing its stake further over time within the allowable limits.

"We have been very happy with our investment in IAG, from a financial, commercial and strategic perspective. The relationship formed has helped to deliver on our westbound strategy. Furthermore, IAG's proven management and strategic direction have been the basis on which we will continue to forge a long-term relationship" said His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways.".

International Consolidated Airlines Group believes that the vote to leave the European Union will not have a long term material impact on its business.

In the short term, however, in the run up to the UK referendum during June, IAG experienced a weaker than expected trading environment. Following the outcome of the referendum, and given current market volatility, while IAG continues to expect a significant increase in operating profit this year, it no longer expects to generate an absolute operating profit increase similar to 2015. IAG will update the market in due course.

Bloomberg - Qatar Airways seeking to increase it's holding in IAG to 20%, seeing the current weakness in the sp as a buying opportunity.

"The recent market valuation of one of the world's leading airline groups has provided what we believe is an attractive opportunity to increase our shareholding in IAG. We continue to be highly supportive of IAG's strategy and management team and we do not intend to increase our percentage shareholding further unless there are material changes to the current situation." said Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways.
