Cross reading this with the BCN again! thread I note the aircraft involved and the troubles at IB.
Involved in the other thread was a rare visitor these days to BCN an IB mainline aircraft.
Also involved was an EZ aircraft, that airline has now taken over the terminal previously used by the IB shuttle flights to MAD and abandoned by them. EZ must by now be one of the principal operators at the airport. It has its own neat terminal tagged onto the end of the vastly under used old terminal.
Aerolinias Argentinas are making a success of a nonstop to EZE never attempted by IB from that airport, you have to go via MAD.
Additionaly U.S. carriers are also doing pretty well on nonstops from BCN; again never attempted by IB.
Air Canada are also present as are Singapore Airlines, Pakistan International etc all flying routes never attempted by IB.
Surely if IB survives it should change its name to Madrid Airlines!
