Since the merger with Iberia, IAG has committed to deliver synergies across the combined business by 2015 which will come from a mix of revenue and cost benefits. In 2014 we looked at how we ran our business, and what changes we needed to make to work more efficiently and cost effectively.
These included changes in procurement, finance and IT and plans to standardise all future A320 short-haul aircraft across the IAG group. Buying in bulk, through the IAG group, and reducing unnecessary items carried on board is saving up to £1 million per aircraft.
