Strategic developments
 
On 3 May, British Airways announced University College London (UCL) as the winner of its BA 2119: Future of Fuels challenge. This initiative called on British universities to present new solutions to achieve global leadership in the development of sustainable aviation fuels. IAG will invest $400m in alternative sustainable fuel development over the next 20 years. This includes the construction of the first European plant in Britain to convert household waste into jet fuel, which will start operations in 2024.
 
On 23 May, the Chilean Supreme court rejected the proposed joint business between IAG and LATAM Airlines Group. This will mean that Chilean consumers will lose out on the benefits that this agreement would have provided which include better links between Europe and Chile, greater choice of flights and enhanced frequent flyer benefits. IAG is assessing the impact of the ruling in the joint business which has already been approved by the regulators in Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay.
