British Airways owner IAG swung to an annual loss as the pandemic-led slump in air travel triggered a sharp decline in revenue.
For the year ended 31 December, the company swung to a pre-tax loss of €7.43 billion from a profit of €2.28 billion year-on-year as revenue slumped on 69.4% to €7.81 billion.
