In 2022, the IAG Group, which controls British Airways and Iberia, acquired 20% of Air Europa and was planning to take control of the airline when the pandemic put the process on hold.

After failing to convince the European Commission that the deal did not guarantee competition with other airlines, IAG withdrew its offer in August.

According to Reuters, Air France-KLM said there are discussions about a commercial cooperation with Air Europa within the Sky Team alliance.
