Specifically, the model incorporated by Iberia Airport Services (Mototok Spacer 8600) makes it possible to tow narrow-body aircraft such as the A319, A320 and A321 families with which Iberia and Vueling carry out all their short and medium-range flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Electric Tractors in the Hangars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iberia Maintenance has also adopted this same technology for aircraft taxiing to the hangars in Madrid and Barcelona when they need to be serviced and repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it has two other units of these vehicles -one at Madrid airport and another at El Prat-, also for towing narrow-body aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
