International Airlines Group (IAG) has confirmed its new low-cost long-haul business will operate under the LEVEL brand.

Cathay Pacific will offer a four times weekly service between its Hong Kong International Airport hub and Barcelona from July 2, 2017, subject to final government approval, continuing through the peak travel months until October 27, 2017.

Barcelona seemingly has a good mix of the ingredients needed for IAG to make this new long haul low cost business work.
