IAG to invest up to €200 million with launch of IAGi Ventures

We are excited to announce the launch of IAGi Ventures, our new corporate venturing arm. Over the next five years, we plan to invest up to €200 million in high-potential companies, making this one of the largest investments of its kind globally and the biggest by a European airline group.

Through IAGi Ventures, we aim to invest in companies that are shaping the future of aviation, particularly across areas such as customer experience, operations, and sustainability. Our investment strategy will focus on early-stage opportunities, with the flexibility to explore both earlier and later-stage investments.
