Mr. Joe Thompson:

The first question related to other interline agreements that we have in place today. Virgin Atlantic has interline agreements with a number of carriers. However, what we have observed in recent years is those interline relationships becoming tighter. I am keen to emphasise the importance of those interline agreements being effective in facilitating smooth connections for customers.

As I described earlier, the likelihood of IAG engaging with Virgin Atlantic to put in place an effective interline agreement between our two airlines is extremely low, given the fact that all of our long-haul services compete head-to-head with BA-operated services.
