Iberia upgrades European and domestic fleet interiors


Iberia - OneWorld - Spain
Iberia has already ordered 79 new Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 aircraft to modernise its European and domestic services, and will be refurbishing its remaining short to medium haul Airbuses. The upgrade is described below:
.
An array of grey hues is used for carpeting, curtains, and seats, which are upholstered in leather of the highest quality for maximum comfort, and doubles-stitched into rounded forms. The seat frames are also of new design, and will both enhance comfort and optimise the use of cabin space. The seat backs are more curved and lighter, and are more distant from the knees of the passengers in the row behind. The magazine pouch is positioned high on the seat backs, and there is additional free space under the seats, allowing the passengers behind to extend their legs. "
.
Iberia’s reputation in economy class is not good, and it is ranked as a 3 star airline by Skytrax. This, along with an upgrade of food on sale for European/domestic flights should improve its reputation.
