STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

On 26 January, Iberia announced that it will resume services from Madrid to Havana starting on 1 June with five flights each week. The airline also announced plans to begin flights to Cali and Medellin in Colombia in early July. Iberia highlighted that this has been possible due to its restructuring which has allowed it to achieve a competitive cost base.
