Mod Note: Please only use this thread for small topics or things which are more observational in nature. Major news stories (such as airlines closing down or plane crashes) or questions which are likely to spawn significant discussion should be in their own dedicated thread.
Following on from the interest generated by previous aviation threads, I decided it might be worthwhile for us to have a thread to discuss various aviation topics and to post the latest news, as most of the previous threads have got side-tracked onto various other topics.
Iberia Express Launch
The first newsworthy topic I'm going to put into this thread is Iberia's launch of Iberia Express, a new low-cost airline which is initially intended to serve various domestic routes, with 4 A320s. This is apparently an attempt to plug the gap left by Spaniar, and presumably an attempt to stop Ryanair gaining a greater foothold in Spain.
The airline are also looking to expand beyond the domestic network, to some international destinations - though, surely this would bring it into conflict with Vueling, which is part owned by IAG?
