Analysis

British Airways/Iberia parent, International Airlines Group (IAG), would consider investing in Japan Airlines when it relists in early 2013, IAG CEO Willie Walsh said.

Mr Walsh told CNN, JAL has done a fantastic job: "We might look at some equity participation if Japan Airlines floats again on the stock market, which is their intention at some stage over the next couple of years." IAG's shares gained 1% yesterday.
