Iberia has signed a handling contract with the airline First Choice and, starting in April, will assist its aircraft and passengers in Spanish airports. Iberia Handling will provide handling services for the 4,000 flights to Spain that are programmed by the British airline for the summer and winter seasons. The contract covers all Spanish airports, although at present the carrier flies only to Malaga, Alicante, Ibiza, Gran Canaria, Minorca, Majorca, Reus and Tenerife Sur.

Since First Choice merged with the German TUI tour operator group last year, TUI Travel has become Iberia Handling’s largest client outside the Iberia group and its affiliates. Iberia Handling is now provided services to more than 30,000 TUI Travel flights per year.
