Two new aircraft for Iberia Express (I2, IBS)

Iberia Express has received two A320's, both second hand. Registrations are EC-MEG and EC-MEH. Both A320's came from Woensdrecht Air Base. EC-MEH is leased from AerCap, and has flown for many airlines, including Sabena, CSA and Bingo Airways. EC-MEG is also leased from AerCap, and has been in service since 2001. Iberia Express is fitting their A320's with sharklets, so only time will tell what will happen with these two aircraft.
