BA-owner IAG says transatlantic bookings close to 2019 levels

The boss of the British Airways owner, IAG, said on Monday its transatlantic bookings had already reached nearly 100% of 2019 levels after the United States dropped restrictions earlier this month.

Luis Gallego told the Airlines UK conference that the group was recovering, but he warned that a move by London's Heathrow Airport to hike charges could hit that process.

"Now as the world opens up, we are growing our capacity," he said. "Transatlantic bookings have already reached almost 100% of 2019 levels."
