International Airlines Group (ES0177542018) was trading at EUR 4.96 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 12:09 p.m. CEST, down 3.13 percent versus the prior close of EUR 5.12. On September 29, 2026, OpenAirlines reported that IAG had selected its SkyBreathe platform for fuel-efficiency management across the group's airlines.
Fuel savings target the full fleet
The deployment covers Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, LEVEL and Vueling, with more than 600 aircraft in scope, according to OpenAirlines. British Airways was expected to complete its rollout in the coming months, while the other four airlines already used the platform on September 29, 2026.
SkyBreathe analyzes flight plans, weather conditions and aircraft performance. The common reporting framework matters because fuel costs were a central pressure point in IAG's latest interim period, making operational efficiency more important than a simple capacity increase.
Revenue rises as profit pressure grows
In H1 2026, revenue increased 1.00 percent year over year to EUR 16.064 billion, while operating profit before exceptional items declined 6.40 percent to EUR 1.757 billion, according to GP Aviation Intelligence.
The resulting operating margin was 10.90 percent in H1 2026, compared with 15.10 percent for fiscal 2025. The same H1 report showed a load factor of 85.00 percent, up 0.90 percentage points year over year, indicating that passenger demand held up even as fuel-related costs weighed on profitability.
IAG's investor calendar lists its third-quarter 2026 results for November 6, 2026, as shown on the IAG investor-relations page.

The Lang & Schwarz quote put IAG at EUR 4.96 on October 8, 2026 at 12:09 p.m. CEST, down 3.13 percent from the EUR 5.12 prior close dated October 7, 2026.
