Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, the parent of cargo carriers Atlas and Polar, reported a significant decline in operations during December, although total flying increased slightly for the full year.
Oneworld alliance carriers plan to move into the new Terminal 4 facilities overnight on Feb. 4, with the first flights leaving the new terminal on Feb. 5. Oneworld said the move represents its "biggest and most significant" co-location project. Madrid is the main hub for Iberia and, together with its alliance partners, will account for 90% of passengers flying from Terminal 4. Currently, the Oneworld carriers are located in two separate terminals.
