Iberia in Sydney

[wannabeinvestmentbanker]

Unusual to see an IB A350 in SYD
Assuming it’s a FIFA charter unless they are wet leased?

Maybe a charter group flight, for the Women's FIFA world cup final tomorrow night, between Spain and England.

Members of the Spanish royal family have rocked up. I'd bet it was them.

Such a pity Willy is too busy to come down.

Harry and Meghan could have come, they are used to pushing and shoving.

Not too busy:

Kensington Palace confirmed last week that Prince William would not be travelling to Australia.

The cost of the trip and carbon footprint were cited as reasons for the Prince not to go, according to British media reports.

No too busy:

and can you imagine the uproar if he did fly out for it - he'd be branded as entitled, waste of money etc

Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't

Na, if it were men, no problem, women’s football, na, too busy, too expensive ( for a multi billionaire who would have been on the Public largesse anyway).

Ah well we can disagree agreeably then

The Spanish Royal Family flew Charter to get to the WWC final. Must be one of the few times an Iberian aircraft has been in SYD ?

[Must...Fly!]

I assumed it was for the team, but possibly a combination. They were reported as to be arriving in MAD on Monday evening local time.

My own dodgy picture from yesterday afternoon taxiing along...

Spain played all their games in NZ, but could be the case also.

EDIT: The same reddit thread suggested the Spanish team arrived via a Spanish military flight, but may well go home with Iberia?

Not suggesting they have been chartered with Iberia the whole tournament, but could've easily been a pre-arranged thing or at least once they reached the final 4.

Ahh sorry, didn't think to search through those posts, I did use the AFF search on Iberia and nothing recent came up.

All good - I've just moved the posts about Iberia from the "view from my office" thread into here so they're all in one place

Shows that Aust airports can handle a lot more int airlines as RPT if they put their (collective) minds to it.
SYD - MAD could be a 3 day a week(ker).
Or ADL - MAD, (grin).
Seeing that ADL - DXB has lost its EK linkage, and that ADL - AKL with QR is no more soon.
We can dream.

This particular Iberia flight did make a stop at DOH on the way...
