Iberia Proposes Voluntary ERE Covering 996 Jobs as Talks Begin

Management says the move supports its Plan de Vuelo 2030 by renewing professional profiles.

Overview

  • Iberia formally presented a voluntary workforce restructuring to union representatives spanning flight and ground staff.
  • A negotiating commission was constituted today with representatives of pilots, cabin crew and ground workers.
  • The plan covers 243 flight roles—106 pilots and 137 cabin crew—and 753 ground positions across maintenance, ground production and corporate areas.
  • Company leaders cite legally sufficient causes linked to a broader transformation plan and stress profile renewal rather than simple staff reductions.
  • The process follows mid‑February petitions from worker committees and unions, and comes in the context of an operation with 10,568 employees, 168 aircraft and service to 145 cities.
