I read a post on a forum somewhere by an IB pilot saying that the airlin was not happy with their A346’s, general performance issues.
They also reported a huge performance degredation with their A340-300’s. The Pilot said
“The 6 year old A340-300’s now have marginaly better, bit not much, performance that the 22 year old Boeing 747-200’s the airline operate”
I wonder if that is true??
also, the comment Matt just made, make me wonder if airbus aren’;t playing a clean game here.

Looks like a trip to Madrid to get that log illusive EC-EXM MD87!
Their ‘old’ A320-211 are between c/n’s 0134-0312 and I still need 2 EC-ICS,T! What time frame is this over?

Iberia wants to operate single Airbus fleet in the future.

Early 1990s I reckon, so coming up for retirement dates soon. I would imagine BA will look at getting rid of their CFM engined ones soon too. Presumably the rest of the Iberia Airbus fleet use IAEs?

Their A320s wouldn’t be that old “would they”
