Are Level changing tack from just A330 longhaul? I see 3 ex Niki 321s have either acquired or are getting Level colours - anyone know what they plan to do with them?

I think it's the other way around, operated by the newly created Vueling Austria but in Level branding.
It looks like Level will eventually become the main LCC brand within IAG on both long haul and short haul, it's a more neutral brand and has no reputation attached to it like Vueling may have.

LEVEL isnt really an airline, but a brand available within the IAG group for their airlines to use as a low-cost brand. In this case, Vueling Austria - due to native German speaking countries struggling with pronouncing Vueling!
The current make up of LEVEL:
Barcelona - operated by Iberia
Paris - operated by Openskies
Vienna - operated by Vueling Austria

Vueling is a play on a mix of Spanish and English.
Vuel relates to Vuelar (/to fly) and 'ing'from English. So sort of flying but spanglish ....
spaniards pronounce V like B , as in Valencia is pronounced Balencia and in this way Vueling will be pronounced Bueling in Spain, everywhere else I guess just as it reads with V!

Thanks for that, EI-BUD. I get the 'vuel...' bit but wasn't sure about the '..ing' as as far as I know no Spanish (or indeed Catalan, InOban; I've no knowledge of that language other than 'Camp Nou' ) words end in those three letters. That explains it, though!

We have in Spanish “ando” like “ing” in English.
bailando, cantando, saltando, volando, soņando..... means dancing, singing, jumping, flying or dreaming for example.
Vuela -> Fly
Vueling -> Volando
could be “Flyando” if we change the words.

Thanks for that, Lon12. I studied Spanish a while back but am very rusty at the minute!
Sorry for hijacking the thread about Level with a linguistic discussion about the word 'Vueling' everyone

Seems to me as if the group is firefighting. Trying to be all things at once and failing in many areas. Are the Level staff still IB employees, if they are it must be costing lots of Euros!

Level is a 'brand' which can be extended across the group of airlines - so the Barcelona base for LH is operated by Iberia and therefore IB staff, the Paris base is ex-Openskies and staffed by that base, and Austria is a new operation which will be operated by Austrians.
