BA and Iberia Airlines have merged and have combined many of their flight schedules. They have already started to amend some of the routes and costings for later in the year.
The British and the Spanish airlines completed the merger in January 2011. It is called International Airlines Group, but the BA and Iberia brands continue to operate as normal. The company began began trading on 21 January 2011 with shares being listed in London and Madrid and became a FTSE 100 constituent on 24 January 2011. BA is no longer listed on the stock exchange.
This has affected us in South Africa.
The flights we booked a couple of months ago were cancelled as a result of the new schedules and we have been put onto flights a day earlier. (Meaning that we have had to change our connecting flights and pay for an extra night's accommodation).
Where Iberia flew from Johannesburg to Madrid or Barcelona almost every day, they now fly only on 4 or 5 days and the other flights are operated by BA taking people to Madrid, via London, on BA with huge increase in flight prices.
