Budget airline launches scheduled Pan-American service
Fly from Spain direct to Los Angeles
USA for just €99.00
NBC Los Angeles reports that International Airlines Group, the parent company behind British Airways and Spanish flag carrier Iberia, are to launch a brand new budget airline this summer.
LEVEL will operate just two modern Airbus A330 aircraft and offer flights direct from Barcelona airport to four American destinations, connecting the Spanish mainland with Los Angles and San Francisco's Bay Area in the USA, Buenos Aires in Argentina, and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
Willie Walsh, IAG chief executive said "LEVEL is an exciting new IAG airline brand which will bring a stylish and modern approach to flying at prices that are even more affordable. It will benefit from having the strength of one of the world's largest airline groups behind it".
LEVEL will become IAG's fifth main airline brand alongside Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia and Vueling. It will complement the company's existing airline portfolio and further diversify their current customer base, as the brand strives to compete alongside other long haul budget airlines such as Norwegian, already offering a direct Stateside service from Alicante on the Costa Blanca to Las Vegas.
Launching in June, the service promises to add a choice of exotic destinations for residents of Spain, with direct flights to Los Angeles starting at just €99. The airline is also expected to increase the amount of American visitors to the Spanish eastern coastline, with return flights to Spain starting at just $149.
