STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
On 17 June, the chief executives of IAG, Air France-KLM, easyJet, Lufthansa Group and Ryanair announced that they will work together to develop an EU aviation strategy which will support growth and jobs across Europe, strengthen the sector and provide more choice and competitive fares to European passengers. This is in response to a consultation by the EU Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc.
On 1 June, Iberia resumed its flights to Havana. The five per week service between Madrid and the Cuban capital is operated on A330 aircraft with new long haul cabins. These new flights aim to strengthen further Iberia's leadership between Europe and Latin America.
On 9 June, Vueling announced that it had become a member of IATA (International Air Transport Association). The airline will benefit from lower costs on transactions with IATA members.
