IAG eyes Paris, Rome as bases for new LCC Level
IAG is considering Paris and Rome as potential bases for its new long-haul LCC Level, which plans to launch flights from Barcelona June 1. Level will initially operate 2 Airbus A330s from Barcelona to Los Angeles, followed by San Francisco June 2, Punta Cana June 10 and Buenos Aires June 17. The two initial aircraft, part of a batch of 5 options previously taken out with Airbus, will be in a 2-class configuration, with 21 premium economy and 293 economy seats. IAG CE Willie Walsh had already indicated Level was planning to expand to other European cities, but during the airline’s Q1 earnings call said “Rome and Paris are both under consideration [as bases] and that an announcement will be made in due course,” an IAG spokeswoman confirmed. <br/>
