At a testing time, we took swift action to ensure we emerge from this unprecedented crisis well positioned to compete in a structurally changed industry.
7 The COVID-19 pandemic s impact on people, communities, companies and countries has been overwhelming. The toll on our sector has been particularly heavy, with IATA estimating that global traffic will not reach 2019 levels until around 2020 IAG made an operating loss of 4,365 million before exceptional items on revenues of 7,868 million. This compares with an operating profit before exceptional items of 3,285 million in 2019. Passenger traffic and capacity reduced by per cent and per cent, respectively, with all our Airlines making losses far exceeding those recorded in the 2001 crisis and the 2009 financial S LETTERT hese results reflect the negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, exacerbated by constant changes in government travel acted swiftly to mitigate the pandemic s impact, bolster liquidity and protect our long-term future.

9 As the pandemic struck, we strengthened our financial and strategic position. In October we successfully completed a billion capital increase which was fully subscribed by our shareholders. This positions us well for when demand eventually led us to implement plans approved by national regulators in Spain and Ireland to ensure our EU-licensed Airlines continue to meet EU ownership and control rules. They include creating a national ownership structure for Aer Lingus and changes to IAG s longstanding Spanish , we changed the Board composition to create a majority of independent non-executive EU directors.
10 I wish to thank Deborah Kerr, Mar a Fernanda Mej a and Steve Gunning who stepped down from the Board for their valuable contribution to IAG. Steve s executive functions as Chief Financial Officer remain unchanged and I m very grateful for his support for these it was disappointing to take this step, we re pleased that the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement recognises the potential benefits of further liberalisation of airline ownership and control as we believe it s in the best interests of the industry and the crisis we ve stuck to our strategy, including playing a lead role in industry consolidation.
