Iberia is NOT the same as IAG, its parent holding company, and it is NOT the same as Iberia Express, its short-haul low-cost subsidiary. Iberia refers specifically to Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana S.A. Operadora (IATA code IB), the full-service Spanish flag carrier. It is also distinct from Vueling and LEVEL, two other Spain-based airlines that are also owned by IAG but operate separately.
