Strategic developments
 
In December, British Airways reached final agreement on pay talks with its pilots union BALPA and Iberia announced that it had signed a collective preliminary agreement with its ground handling, maintenance and administrative staff unions. 
 
On 17 December, British Airways signed a joint business agreement with China Southern Airlines. This will benefit customers by adding more destinations between the UK and China with a greater choice of flights and enhanced frequent flyer benefits.
 



On 8 November 2019, IAG announced at its Capital Markets Day that it will discontinue publishing monthly traffic and capacity statistics from January 2020.
 
IAG will publish quarterly traffic and capacity statistics at the same time as the quarterly results announcement.
