IAG adds two more long-haul planes for budget unit Level

FARNBOROUGH, England, July 17 (Reuters) - IAG, the owner of British Airways and Iberia, has committed to two more A330-200 long-haul planes for its new budget unit Level, Airbus said on Tuesday.

Level currently plans to operate five A330 jets this year on its long-haul operations from Barcelona and Paris, and Airbus said the two additional planes would be delivered in 2019.

Level, set up last year, has so far focused on long-haul flights, but on Tuesday starts its first short-haul flight from Vienna to London. (Reporting by Victoria Bryan; Editing by Mark Potter)
