@rschuur_aero Even without @AirEuropa , IAG intends to grow its Madrid hub. “But it will take longer. We will continue to invest in @Iberia and the company in Madrid,” Gallego says. Iberia will grow capacity by 14% this year. It grew ASKs to Latin America in Q2 by almost 24%.

@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.”

@rschuur_aero The new @IndiGo6E  Stretch Business Class product will feature 12  @recaro_as  R5 seats with 38 inch pitch in a 2-2 configuration. The airline has ordered 45 shipsets for retrofit on @Airbus A321neos, with EIS scheduled for Q4 on Delhi-Mumbai. Total seat capacity is 208.
