An Iberia flight operating between Madrid and Paris was forced to make an emergency landing at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport on Sunday afternoon following the impact of a large bird just minutes after takeoff. Both the passengers and crew of flight IB579 were unharmed, according to company and air traffic control sources.

The agreement to expand El Prat Airport will not, a priori, change Iberia's long-standing strategy: to grow at Barajas Airport by expanding long-haul routes, primarily in Latin America, to turn it into a "large" airport. hub"that can compete with the major European airports. The airline has just presented its Flight Plan 2030, a document in which this commitment remains the backbone. On the contrary, it leaves the objective of giving wings to the Catalan airport in the hands of Level—the low-cost brand of the Spanish-British group IAG, which also includes Iberia and Vueling.

Homelessness at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, where more than 400 people have found shelter, has led to the umpteenth war between the Spanish and Madrid governments. After weeks of back-and-forth over which institution is competent to address this delicate situation, the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, and the president of Aena, Mauricio Lucena, met this Thursday and, for the time being, agreed to conduct a census to identify everyone who spends the night at the airport. The census will be carried out throughout the month of June and will be commissioned by a third sector entity (Fresno), and based on the results obtained, Almeida assured that the council will be in a position to "provide the best possible social assistance" depending on the problems that each of those affected may have.
