British Airways owner IAG is buying Spain's Air Europa. The deal is valued at just over 600 million dollars - a price slashed in half by the past year's travel slump. Under the amended agreement, the money won't have to be paid until the sixth anniversary of the acquisition. Air Europa has been supported by state-backed loans during the recent travel turmoil.
