STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

On 10 February, Iberia and Vueling announced that Iberia's Madrid to Barcelona air shuttle will now be operated jointly by both airlines. There will be up to 26 daily flights (16 Iberia and 10 Vueling) with departures every 15 or 30 minutes at peak time and hourly throughout the day. Changes to the current service will take place in July and include greater flexibility with the option of making flight reservations in addition to walk-on and pre-paid open tickets.
