International Airlines Group (BA and Iberia) have placed their first order for new aircraft. This is with Airbus, for 8 x A330-300 with a further 8 options, to be used by Iberia, to replace up to 16 A340s. Delivery is between Autumn 2012 and Spring 2014.
IAG chief executive Willie Walsh said: “The A330 is an excellent aircraft, both in terms of comfort and operational performance, and it will be a welcome addition to Iberia’s fleet. It also provides us with considerable cost benefits due to its lower fuel consumption and commonality with Iberia’s existing long haul aircraft”.
