This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Government has not said that it is going to provide financial support to the IAG. It has been reported that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has written to airlines telling them to find other forms of funding ,and not to turn to the Government for support through this crisis: www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52027342

If you would still like the Government to buy British Airways, you could start a new petition calling for this, provided it does not suggest the Government is otherwise planning to provide financial support to the IAG.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to decline any requests for bailouts from the airline industry, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302992
