Oh just using the Iberia codes and callsign for now. I see it's being code-shared with American Airlines out of the gate, too.

Give it 5 years and Terminal 5 will be full of 'Level' shiny green blue and white 380's, 777's etc

VickersVicount 1st Jun 2017 16:38

.... id say Terminal 3 or LGW

nguba 1st Jun 2017 18:53

I don't think you'll ever see Level at LHR or LGW.

Agree- Walsh has already said it will not be needed in the London market which can easily support the higher end premium carriers within the group

pwalhx 2nd Jun 2017 09:08

I however would not be surprised to see Level in Manchester and not just for painting the aircraft.

Level is performing ahead of expectations and will have 13 aircraft by 2019:

If it goes to Paris will that spell the end for Openskies BA’s airline in Orly?

toledoashley 24th Sep 2017 18:02

Unfortunately, Openskies has a better name.

Even if they fly from the same city, they compete in different markets. If OpenSkies closes, it will be because it hasn't worked.

Well, there will be more than a dozen former airberlin A330s and crew to operate them on the market very soon. Apparently IAG bid for a part of airberlin in order to get their hands on the aircraft, but the move was stalled by Lufthansa as their feared LEVEL would set up shop at Dusseldorf to replace airberlin.

My money is on Rome.
Large Vueling presence to supply connections.
Ailing long haul carrier on death's door (Alitalia).

My money is on Rome.
So is MOLs.

Major expansion plans for LEVEL, sounds like other IAG airlines will operate from new bases....

LGW would only be to take on Norwegian, but unlikely. LHR, not a chance.

The next base is Paris Orly:

I see they are closing down OpenSkies and I suppose merging it into Level.

IAG now demonstrating that if you want to establish a new pan European brand, it is easier to do at the low cost end of the market. The experiment of Openskies is no more.

runway30 28th Nov 2017 13:01

If Openskies is to become the Operating Company for Level, it avoids having to establish a new AOC. Interesting experiment because it is a challenge to turn a full service carrier into a low cost carrier.

Not if you work for BA...
