@rschuur_aero Spanish options: IAG still considering relaunching short-haul operations of LEVEL as it already strengthens long-haul out of Spain.@vueling could also be developed. Growth @iberiaexpress is frozen until a new pilot deal is reached.
@rschuur_aero Gallego: “We will continue to explore opportunities (for consolidation) if they the group stronger. We said previously that we were analysing @tapairportugal : the proposal makes sense. But we don’t have any urgency to do M&A.”
