This aircraft, christened &#8216;Do\u00f1ana&#8217;, was the first aircraft of the European manufacturer that Iberia received in its fleet and with it began a history that is now 40 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A300s mainly covered routes to the Canary Islands due to their large passenger and cargo capacity. These were followed by the A320 family aircraft for short and medium-haul flights in the 1990s and, in the same decade, the A340-300 and A340-600 models, which began to join Iberia&#8217;s fleet in 1996, EuropaPress reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/03\/iberia-limits-cabin-crew-to-minimum-required-due-to-low-occupancy.html\">Iberia limits cabin crew to minimum required due to low occupancy.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The arrival of the A330s in 2013 coincided with Iberia&#8217;s major transformation: new Business and Economy cabins and a new way of operating long-haul routes with twin-engine aircraft that brought a big leap in efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the A350 and A320neo, Iberia takes another technological leap forward with state-of-the-art, quieter and more environmentally friendly aircraft that also offer greater comfort to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
