Iberia A320s grounded at Madrid
In a strongly worded press release Iberia condemns what it calls “the irresponsible and intransigent position” and goes further describing it as “an intolerable act of blackmail against customers, against Spanish society, in the midst of one of the worst economic crises in its history.”
The strike call does not affect flights operated by Iberia Express, Air Nostrum, Vueling, or IB code-shares with other companies. During other recent union unrest obligatory minimum services decrees have also protected flights to/from the Canary and Balearic Islands, along with the greater part of long haul flights.
Flights due to be cancelled today (Monday 9 April) are all domestic with Madrid at one end or the other. Further action is due Friday 13 April. www.iberia.com
