LONDON (dpa-AFX) - International Airlines Group (IAG.L, BAIRY.PK, BAY.L) Friday issued a statement referring to recent speculation regarding the possibility of IAG undertaking an equity raise.
The company did not rule out the possibility of an equity raise and said it is 'evaluating the merits' of a 2.75 billion euros rights issue.
