Case study

 

IAG

Supporting via public affairs activity to include engagement with national and regional governments.

The Brief

Lexington has partnered with British

Airways/International Airlines Group for over 20 years,

aiming to shape Government policy—fiscal, transport,

and environmental—to support a competitive UK

aviation market. We deliver weekly insights and

analysis to IAG/BA senior leaders, led by former

Government advisers and policy experts, helping them

navigate the political landscape and inform Group

strategy. Each year, our senior team co-develops a

comprehensive strategy with IAG aligned to their

broader business goals.

The Action

We manage an engagement programme designed to

maintain relationships with senior officials, ministers

and special advisers in the DfT, Treasury and No.10 to

explain the wider economic and social value that

network airlines like BA offer from a hub, provide expert

input to shape policy development and explain the

impact that policy changes would have on the

business.

The Impact

We regularly support IAG to engage effectively with

national and regional governments. Scotland is one of

IAG’s largest markets, so we have cultivated strong

relationships across all levels of the Scottish

Government. We also have strong ties to MPs and

regional leaders in areas where BA fly to including

Manchester and Newcastle.
