WW don't fly MAN/BCN anymore either. Looks like ZB saw them off the route too.

ZB's service is pretty damn good - they have announced some new routes from MAN and LGW for this coming summer.

markmartin,
ZB's service is excellent. I have used them many times. I have only once been delayed and that was to pick up pax from a cancelled BA service. there is a choice of ,eals on-board but you have to pay for them. There are newspapers and free IFE. Then there is their excellent frequent flyer club. Well to be recommended. I hope they do as well on MAN-MAD as they have elsewhere.

Looks like Boeing have lost another one to Airbus. Thank God for them MOL's still around to fill up their order book!
Well re. Iberia, not a big surprise that they order airbus. The surprise is really the 15 A318s in the lot!

Iberia confirms new Airbus order for 70 aircraft
Can't hide my delight, as I'm a frequent Iberia flyer and just love Airbus aircarft, yet I suppose it's not much of a surprise to anyone that Airbus won this one.
Link to Iberia press release of yesterday evening
Apologies, just seen I'm not the first one to post this, it's already on airport, airlines... news forum. At least you have the link to an official press release from Iberia here so I won't delete and leave it up to our kind moderators to decide what to do.

re: Iberia Fleet renewal
It will be nice to see the A318 in IB colours. With this fleet replacement over the next couple of years are we going to alos see a new Livery?

I imagine given how relatively slow the 318 has sold to date, the price was keen to say the least. Now that one more competitor (717) has bitten the dust following the FK100 and BAe RJX perhaps more orders may follow.

Iberia Mulls Buying Low-Cost Airline
April 20, 2005
Iberia is considering buying or setting up a low cost airline of its own so that it can compete in this market "with the same weapons", Spanish media reported on Wednesday.
News agency Europa Press quoted Managing Director Angel Mullor as saying Iberia was weighing up alternatives, such as buying an existing company or setting up its own.
"Either we fight with the same weapons as these airlines or we will have to stay out of these markets," Mullor said, according to the Europa Press report.
An Iberia spokeswoman said Mullor's remarks were accurately reported.
More than 50 million foreign tourists visit Spain every year and a steadily increasing proportion come on budget airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet or Lufthansa's Germanwings unit.
Iberia has been a fierce critic of subsidies received by budget airlines flying to smaller airports.
"What Iberia has to do is cut costs, either internally, or, if that fails, by any other means possible," the spokeswoman said.
