Madrid, 5 of February of 2010
This afternoon Iberia will take delivery of a new A-319 from the Airbus plant in Toulouse, France.
Christened the Visón Europeo [“European Mink”], it is the first aircraft to join the fleet since deliveries
were suspended more than a year ago as the company reduced capacity to cope with the global economic slump.
Registered as EC-LEI, the new aircraft bears the name and picture of the European mink on the fuselage.
The name will be changed when and if the animal is removed from the list of endangered species.
