DUBLIN (AP) — Aer Lingus said Tuesday it supports a takeover bid by British Airways parent IAG, putting the Irish national airline with its trademark shamrock tailfins on course for foreign acquisition nine years after its privatization. The government, which retained a 25.1 percent share when it privatized Aer Lingus in 2006, opposed Ryanair's ambitions and has emphasized its concern that a private owner could weaken travel connections for Ireland, an island nation. Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe has briefed fellow government ministers about the takeover offer.
