Aer Lingus and BA owner IAG 'won't be bailed out like Lufthansa' over Covid-19

Lufthansa last week agreed to tap €9bn in aid in return for Germany taking back part of the shares into state-ownership.

IAG, the owner of Aer Lingus and British Airways, will not share the fate of Lufthansa anytime soon after the German state injected €9bn into the airline in return for an initial 20% stake, leading aviation analyst Stephen Furlong has said.
