LONDON (Alliance News) - International Consolidated Airlines Group SA said Thursday it has approved an interim dividend of EUR0.145 per share for its current financial year.
This compares to a EUR0.125 dividend it paid out the same time last year, having not made an interim payout in 2016.
Earlier Thursday, IAG said it believes additional personal data may have been stolen in a hack on British Airways and declared an interim dividend.
The Anglo-Spanish group, which owns British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia, and Vueling, said hackers make have stolen additional personal data during the cyber attack between April 21 and July 28.
This update has emerged from talks with both the National Crime Agency and specialist cyber forensic investigators.
British Airways is notifying the holders of 77,000 payment cards their name, billing address, email address, and card payment details including card number and card verification value - the three digit number on the back of the card - could have been compromised.
A further 108,000 customers may also have had their information compromised, though not including their CVV numbers.
This news follows a September 6 announcement that personal and financial details of British Airways customers had been compromised by an attack between August 21 and September 5.
IAG said of the 380,000 customers originally identified as being impacted by this hack, 244,000 had actually been effected.
Since September 6 British Airways has confirmed it has seen no verified fraud cases.
Shares in IAG closed up 3.8% at 587.40 pence each on Thursday.
