Iberia/SAS
SOE
Re SK, I only remember from the excitement of the locals on another forum.
It was also announced after the UA/CO tie-up which basically means
Star competing with Star or I suppose you could say complementing
although I believe that there isn't any JV on the route.
I certainly remember Iberia operating from BHX and MAN, the latter
for a longer period but I was surprised that Air Nostrum did not get in
first with the arrival of the new CRJ-1000's rather than Ryanair.
Not quite sure what to make of the AEA/ZB tie-up but I suppose things
will become clearer in the near future. Gatwick - Madrid code-share,
yes I can see that but not so sure about Manchester now, or Luton (easyjet)
or BHX (320/321/73H I would have thought is too big for my local although
a AEA 195 would be good).
Just hope some of Manchester's Madrid magic can eventually work it's
way down the M6/M42 west (not East!).
