After two years marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline industry faced the deepest crisis in its history. Although 2022 is the year of the recovery of the sector, it was a year of operational difficulties due to a higher demand than the experts predicted. During the summer months, many European and North American airports where Iberia operates experienced operational problems due to a lack of manpower, among other reasons. Despite this negative situation, Iberia has maintained its punctuality standards, It is Europe’s most punctual airline in summer.
“Punctuality is one of the values most valued by our customers, so this award is a great source of pride for us and a recognition of the hard work of each of our employees who have made our planes take off and land on time. . Congratulations to the entire Iberia team working together for a common purpose. Few milestones demonstrate the spirit of teamwork, commitment, professionalism and pride in the task better than punctuality, because all areas and work of the company must be perfectly coordinated like an orchestra to ensure the success of the operation.” Javier Sanchez-PrietoPresident of Iberia.
