Iberia will be working with its partners in the oneworld alliance and another ten airlines to carry its passengers as needed during the strike action.
Iberia has to operate under government decrees in relation to how many flights operate – so the airline will operate:
- 90% of all scheduled long-haul flights will take place during the first strike period,
- 61% of all medium-haul international flights,
- 46% of domestic flights
Rebooking is open for those who have booked directly with Iberia – those who have booked via other sources (such as travel agents) are advised to contact them for further advice.
Sadly, unless Iberia and the unions and bang their heads together, get around a negotiation table and sort this all out, more strikes are due 4th March 8th March and 18th March 22nd March. Expect more disruption and timetable cancellations.
Good luck if you’re on an Iberia flight over the next few days.
