Iberia, airlines of Spain, have announced plans to reorganise the airline and launch a new short-haul carrier.
The new strategic plan seeks to reverse declining revenues, weak demand and mounting losses. Whilst continuing efforts to merge with British Airways, Iberia intends to focus on long-haul flights between Europe and Latin America and create a new network airline based in Madrid which will feed and distribute traffic to Iberia’s growing long-haul network. The new strategic plan called imaginatively "Plan 2012" is aimed at bringing Iberia back to profitability.
