Iberia has again increased its stake in BA.
The Spanish carrier confirmed today that it has raised its holding from 7.3% to 9.07%.
Until late summer, Iberia owned just a 2.99% in the British airline.
It began buying shares over the last two months as the two airlines engaged in merger talks.
BA has a 13.15% holding in the Spanish flagship.
Willie Walsh, BA's ceo, said earlier this month that the merger talks were progressing well and that he hoped they could be successfully concluded by next March.
