An internal VIP passenger fit to an existing passenger fitted A330 seems logical to me. Will arrive in RAF colours instead of BA who fit out for VIP anyway for a Spanish company's profit.

I mean that in general when the PM or others arrive at distant destinations, it is generally in a chartered BA aircraft. Hence profit to the Spanish owners.EGVP wrote:You've lost me with where BA come in to this, Mart?
I'd imagine AirTanker will sub-contract the interior fitting based on tender, but if they don't it'll probably head back to Tolouse for outfitting there.
It could even go to Toulouse (or Finkenwerder).EGVP wrote:You've lost me with where BA come in to this, Mart?

Thanks for that clarification KyleG. Do you know if any of the civilian A330's are in RAF markings, are they tankers?KyleG wrote:AirTanker operate the civilian registered A330s, the RAF operates the military registered ones (although they are still AirTanker owned).
IAG is listed on London and Spanish markets, with owners shareholders across Europe and further, QATAR own 10% of IAG, it is symbolically HQ'd in Spain but the real centre is at LHR, as said above. It's no more Spanish than English or otherwise and the largest shareholding is in the UK.martmpf wrote:From Wiki, but I believe it is correct:TonyO wrote:IAG is a British company that owns BA and Iberia.martmpf wrote: Hence profit to the Spanish owners.
"Structure and headquarters.
IAG is incorporated in Spain as a Sociedad Anónima, its board meetings are held in Madrid and its tax domicile is in Spain".

The operational headquarters is in London, but that arrangement was part of the carve-up an to satisfy the EU and both governments with regard to merger regulations and monopolies.
That looks Spanish to me!
