At its inaugural Capital Markets Day, IAG released its operating profit target of €1.5 billion in 2015.

Avios was launched during the month. It is IAG's new single reward currency, which replaces BA Miles, Iberia Plus Points and Airmiles.

Luis Gallego, chief operating officer at Vueling, was appointed chief executive of Iberia´s new subsidiary airline Iberia Express, which will start operations at the end of March 2012.
