IAG Faces Lowest Risk of Long-Haul Overcapacity Among European Airlines -- Market Talk

Dow Jones10-02

0651 GMT - International Consolidated Airlines Group--which houses British Airways and Iberia, among others--faces the lowest risk among European carriers of long-haul overcapacity on its routes into the winter season, J.P. Morgan analysts say. Out of the three European flag carriers--IAG, Air France-KLM and Deutsche Lufthansa--IAG has the most favorable balance between demand and supply, the analysts say. Transatlantic capacity remains constrained, particularly in the U.K.-U.S. market which is IAG's largest profit pool, they say. IAG remains JPM's top pick among European airlines because the group has potential to continue rewarding shareholders thanks to its strong free-cash-flow generation, the analysts say. JPM retains its overweight rating on IAG, neutral for Air France-KLM, and underweight for Lufthansa. (cristina.gallardo@wsj.com)
