Does that mean BA (being married to IB now) for once score a victory over LH (which has Spanair within Star) ? Amazing. Sure, considering FR and EZY fly to every village in Spain from pretty much every corner of Europe, not a surprise. JK completely disqualified themselves when managing to crash their DC-9 (ok, it was a MD-82, but similar old design).

We had a similar event at LUX, also with shocking neglect on the side of maintenance, management and crew, and many people still mistrust Luxair. New management had to rebuild Luxair from scratch, which Spanair hasn't done. So they would deserve to disappear into history. I hope LH has learnt the lesson and doesn't even think about starting a 'Lufthansa Espania' or 'Spanishwings'. Is LH codeshare a Kiss Of Death these days ?
Surely considering those airline's independence.
