STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

On 11 April, British Airways and Iberia launched a new long-haul 'Basic' fare to numerous destinations to provide greater choice for customers who don't wish to check in a bag or select a seat.

 

On 25 April, Iberia launched its new Madrid-San Francisco route. This is the airline's sixth US destination and the only direct flight from Spain to San Francisco. The airline is also reinforcing its North America operation next winter by converting Boston to a year-round service and extending Los Angeles service into the winter season.
