European Union anti-trust authorities said on Friday they had launched an investigation into a planned tie-up between British Airways, American Airlines and Spanish carrier Iberia.

"We have opened, on our own initiative, an investigation under the treaty's anti-trust rules," European Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd said, when asked about Spanish media reports of a probe.
