Airline mergers are common and good for profits and for passengers

As a shareholder of Aer Lingus Plc, I agree to the aims of IAG’s takeover offer. Why? The market rules. No offer would have been made if it wasn’t good value for both parties.

The airline business is global, and, in the long-term, Aer Lingus can’t operate as a single player.

Alliances in the airline business are common and everybody profits from them: passengers, airlines and airports.
