STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

 

Iberia and its subsidiary Iberia Express were the world's most punctual airlines in January according to the latest ranking published by FlightStats. Iberia led network carriers with 92.72 per cent of flights on time while Iberia Express achieved 96.34 per cent punctuality the highest score among low cost carriers. The airline's improvement in operational performance has been a key aspect of its restructuring.

 

British Airways is changing its 'On Business' loyalty scheme for small and medium sized businesses to incorporate American Airlines and Iberia. The new partnership will allow On Business members to benefit from collecting and spending across all three airlines under one programme.

 

Vueling has become the first airline to offer a self service baggage check-in at its hub in Barcelona.
