IAG’s low-cost offshoot – LEVEL – is preparing for a busy transatlantic summer, with its new timetable kicking off on the 31st of March.

It’s an aggressive summer, with the airline planning to offer 40% more seats – nearly 200,000 additional seats to the American continent.
United States of America
The first big note is the airline will offer is Barcelona to Miami route. this will initially be operated with three weekly flights and will be increased to four between June to September, flying on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The airline on the other hand will continue its daily operations to New York, with Los Angeles and Boston operating daily between June and September for the first time, while the rest of the months will have six and five flights a week, respectively.
Finally, the seasonal route to San Francisco will also resume from the 31st of March, with four weekly frequencies, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, going down to three times a week during October.
Latin America
The Barcelona to Santiago de Chile route will have a major capacity increase, with 40% more seats, facilitated by the airline operating e three times a week.
Meanwhile, the Buenos Aires route will have five weekly frequencies, increasing to six between June to October, and providing passengers with more opportunities to explore the Argentine capital.
Towards its own Air Operators Certificate
LEVEL has recently taken on its sixth Airbus A330 to support its operational growth – and it seems the airline is taking advantage of the capacity it offers.
There are plans to increase the fleet to eight aircraft – allowing further operational flexibility as well as the chance to operate to new destinations in the future.
However, there’s one thing LEVEL currently doesn’t have – its own Air Operators Certificate (with flights currently operated by Iberia). That’s changing, intending to achieve its own AOC in 2024 – allowing the airline further flexibility under the IAG umbrella.
For the progress LEVEL seeks, it is going to be the case of one action after another to show it can remain viable.
