IAG is to place four Airbus A321neos with its Spanish spin-off arm Iberia Express, deploying the twinjets with the carrier from April next year. Iberia Express already has four A321s , part of a fleet which also includes 18 A320s. It says the aircraft will be configured with 232 seats, in a mix of business- and economy-class cabins. They will undoubtedly help us to consolidate further the value proposition to our customers,” says chief executive Fernando Candela.
Airbus’s latest backlog figures show that Spanish flag-carrier Iberia converted a December 2015 order for three A320neos to A321neos in April this year. This conversion gives Iberia a total order of seven A321neos as well as 13 A320neos – two of which have been delivered.
