The chief executive of British Airways parent company IAG has said a ‘Brexit’ from the European Union would not have an impact on its business.
The head of the company which also owns Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling did admit the impending referendum was causing “uncertainty” in the market.
Speaking to BBC’s Radio 4 Today programme about what impact a vote to leave the EU would have, Walsh said: “We have taken advice from a number of sources, we have looked at this internally, we have undertaken a risk analysis.
"Obviously there is uncertainty in the market which is weighing on people's minds. But our view is should there be a vote we don't believe it will have a material impact on our business,” Walsh added.
His comments follow a number of bosses from aviation businesses including Easyjet, Ryanair and Heathrow that have all backed the ‘In’ campaign.
Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said the airline remains a “committed supporter” of the UK remaining in Europe.
“As the UK’s largest airline, Ryanair is absolutely clear that the UK economy and its future growth prospects are stronger as a member of the European Union than they are outside of the EU,” O’Leary said.
