LEVEL to increase fleet to five aircraft in 2018

LEVEL’s first flight took off from Barcelona to Los Angeles on June 1. The inaugural flight on International Airlines Group’s (IAG) longhaul low cost airline brand arrived in LA with 314 passengers on board a new Airbus A330. This is Spain’s first longhaul low cost operation and is the first step towards LEVEL’s expansion from other European cities. More than 134,000 tickets have been sold since its launch on March 17. At Barcelona airport, Willie Walsh, IAG’s chief executive said: “This is the start of a fantastic new adventure for IAG. LEVEL’s sales are well ahead of our expectations in all markets. The brand has resonated with a new audience, many of whom are flying longhaul for the first time. In 2018, LEVEL will increase its fleet to five aircraft and we are considering other European bases for the operation.”
