LONDON, March 18 (Reuters) - British Airways-owner IAG
said it planned to raise about 1 billion euros ($1.20
billion) through a bond issue, further strengthening its
finances to help it survive the pandemic should the travel
downturn go on longer than expected.
IAG said the senior unsecured bonds would be issued in two
tranches, with 500 million euros of bonds due in 2025 and
another 500 million euros due in 2029, and final terms due to be
determined shortly.
Settlement is expected to take place on Mar. 25.
