Where the IB code comes from
IB comes from IBeria, Spain's flag carrier since 1927 and a oneworld founding member. Together with British Airways it forms the IAG group, but like Air France and KLM the two kept their own codes. IB concentrates its long-haul network on Madrid Barajas, the main gateway between Europe and Latin America.
