limits cabin crew to minimum required due to low occupancy."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong>Iberia<\/strong> will limit cabin crew on its long-haul flights from April 1 to the minimum required for safety reasons, according to a letter from the airline to this group, to which EFE has had access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/03\/icelandair-merges-with-air-iceland-connect.html\"><em>Icelandair merges with Air Iceland Connect.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iberia sources confirmed Saturday that this is a temporary measure, which aims to adjust costs to the drop in revenue, based on the low occupancy factor that &#8220;unfortunately&#8221; has been suffering the company during the pandemic of covid-19, as noted in the letter the director of cabin crew (TCP) of the airline, Bernardo Moya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minimum required is eight flight attendants per flight (which is equivalent to the number of gates on the company&#8217;s long-haul aircraft (A350, A330-200 or A330-300), explained sources from Sitcpla&#8217;s union section at Iberia in statements to EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/03\/us-approves-a-third-14-billion-aid-package-for-airlines-2.html\">Norwegian presents final reconstruction plan to shareholders and creditors.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the workload will be adjusted according to the flight occupancy forecast, Sitcpla calculates that this crew reduction could have a lower employment impact of around 40 crew members per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iberia executive adds in his notification to the TCP that it is &#8220;a difficult and unwanted decision&#8221;, but it is a difficult period &#8220;both from a personal and professional point of view&#8221; and, moreover, everything points to the fact that it will continue to be so in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A near future with low occupancy on the airline&#8217;s planes and, in which the great uncertainty makes medium-term planning even more complex,&#8221; he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Adam Moreira\/<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Iberia_Airbus_A350-941XWB_EC-NDR_departing_JFK_Airport.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
