Iberia has taken delivery of the first of five Airbus A330-300s that will enter service for the Spanish airline this year.
The Airbus A330-300 landed at 11:46 a.m. local time on February 15 at Madrid Barajas Airport and docked at a gate at Iberia’s Terminal 4 hub.

Iberia took delivery of its first Airbus A330-300 on February 15, 2013. The aircraft was named ‘Tikal’ and registered EC-LUB
Iberia currently has a total of nine Airbus A330-300 widebodies on order and also holds options on eight more.
It intends to use the new aircraft to replace a fleet of 13 Airbus A340-300 jets currently in service, and potentially for service and network growth.
The airline’s first A330, named ‘Tikal’ and registered EC-LUB, is equipped with Iberia’s new business and Tourist (economy) class interiors for long-haul flights.
Each A330’s Business Class cabin will feature new flat-bed seats, with each seat row arranged to provide four- or five-abreast seating and nearly every seat offering direct access to an aisle.
The A330s’ economy-class cabins are fitted with seats arranged in eight-abreast row configuration, so that no seat is more one one seat away from an aisle.
Each economy-class seat is fitted with an individual seat-back monitor for watching in-flight entertainment programming.

Seat rows in the economy-class cabins of Iberia’s Airbus A330-300s are arranged eight-abreast to ensure that no seat is more than one seat away from an aisle
