IAG to expand low-cost transatlantic flights after strong start
IAG plans to expand its new low-cost, long-haul airline Level to other European cities, after a successful first month that has seen bookings of the service top 100,000. The airlines group launched Level March 17, offering flights from Barcelona to the Americas in response to rising competition on transatlantic routes. IAG's CE Willie Walsh said ticket sales in the first month had been "incredible" and the airline would be expanded over the next year. "This is just the start. In summer 2018 we will have more aircraft and will operate more destinations from Barcelona," Walsh said. "We're also planning to expand Level operations to other European cities." Level currently has just 2 Airbus A330s in its fleet, but IAG is looking to expand the service to fend off Norwegian Air Shuttle and Wow Air. <br/>
