These days, we are having too many incidents on Iberia planes. First cago holds, not fixed properly, then incidents on board, yesterday damages on a wing on a plane landing in thunderstorm. Several planes returning with problems in the undercarriage (two days ago a B747 was scorted by a F18 to MAD when detected a undercarriage problem. You know Iberia maintenance has always been one of the best in the world, so this is strange. Are Iberia brilliant figures due to cuts in maintenance?. Other sources indicate another conflict between pilots (backed by minister of transport) and the CEO (backed by the Minister of Industry). It seems that all incidents (the usual) are being leaked intentionally by pilots to the press to create a bad image……

Great pic Kabir. As Iberia went private, we “do” expected that pilots bahaved in a rational way because their salaries depended on figures, and that politicians kept their finger off the management. But it seems that things haven´t changed much. No many competence within the country, and Iberia monopollizing everything. While most european airlines lose money, Iberia has huge profits. I include pic, of a nice A320 in MAD

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-10-02 AT 02:54Â PM (GMT)]In 1989 I visited a friend who was living in Spain at the time, I seem to remember my homeward flight being delayed for a short while because of maintenance problems on some Iberia flights(hold doors I think somebody said)……. no change there then!….. Great pic Kabir

RE: Iberia: Faulty maintenance?
Pilots and Ministries blamed for downfal of Iberia in maintanence, thats the Indian way to hide things :9. They must have cut maintanence costs and the pilots must have protested and the media hype always adds to this. I dont know how Iberias economics are at the moment but from what i know they were bleeding internaly, they had cut off many routes into Asia. Pilots leeking stories to media…..another dumb attempt on Iberia pilots. Sometimes the governments act in a childish manner as seen here. Its nothing, maybe cut in maintanence cost or they are just loose in the maintanence area.
