Analysts at JP Morgan moved from neutral to overweight on IAG, saying:

We see the decision by Iberia unions to negotiate the details of the restructuring plan with no change to its overall targets as lowering the short-term risk of turbulence surrounding its implementation. We believe IAG shares will outperform once Iberia reaches agreement with unions (or implements unilateral cuts), and see the recent under performance as a good entry point for investors.

IAG STATEMENT ON IBERIA TRANSFORMATION PLAN

International Airlines Group confirms that no agreement has been reached between Iberia and its trade unions over the airline's transformation plan proposals, published on November 9, 2012.

Iberia will, therefore, press ahead with the previously announced capacity reduction of 15 per cent for 2013.

IAG will also move forward on alternative plans to return Iberia to break-even, in terms of operating cash flow, by the second half of this year and restore Iberia to an acceptable level of profitability by 2015.

Willie Walsh, IAG chief executive, said: "We're disappointed that no agreement has been reached. Iberia is ready and willing to negotiate with the Trade Unions. We are determined and united to implement the necessary changes to secure the future survival and viability of Iberia".

Feb 19 (Reuters) - The International Airline Group says it will not raise its 7 euros per share bid to buy out shares in Spanish budget carrier Vueling despite shareholder pressure for a higher offer.

MADRID, Mar. 11 (AFP) -

"I'm optimistic, there is reason to be," Tudela said in remarks to reporters after the meeting with the parties involved.

The mediator also hoped that the proposal "is the first step in harnessing the problems facing the company."

Tudela said that although "the company has expressed its support for the agreement and most unions were in favor, wait a couple of days" so they can hold consultations with members, because "it is an issue very complex. "

Morgan Stanley note today:
"Pleasingly, IAG has taken clear steps to address Iberia losses in recent weeks. In addition, we think there are multiple avenues of leverage from US, Latam and Heathrow positioning. Our OW is further supported by clear progress in the financing markets – de-risking the balance sheet for IAG.
There is more to play for in the near term: We are 25% ahead of the market on FY13 EBIT. Our €629m forecast compares to consensus of €504m. Market exposures are generally favourable (or at least controllable in the case of Spain) and global partnership momentum has increased materially – oneworld has gained around 400bp of market share with recent deals.
Multiple Aircraft Transactions YTD. Flight Global reported on March 8 that American Airlines raised $660m in the past week, secured at 4-5.6%. In addition, two major lessors (Air Lease and Aviation Capital) raised US$700m for 4.6-4.8%. Management (CEO and senior execs) incentivised to deliver 2014 earnings at 96% of the 2015 target level. Maximum vesting occurs if the group achieves €0.50 EPS in 2014, which compares to the 2015 target of €0.52.
Where could we be wrong? In addition to the usual airline caveats of fuel, FX and event risk, the primary IAG risks involve further weakening of Spanish macro trends, additional austerity or taxation shocks in the UK or Spain and potential execution delays of the Iberia restructuring plans.
