Iberia Wants to Buy Mexico´s Cintra

The spokesman of Spanish airline Iberia, Jaime Perez-Guerra, said this week in a press conference held in Mexico City that his company is waiting for a decision by Mexican authorities over the possible sale of the Cintra consortium, the enterprise that controls the country´s major air carriers.

“We´ve voiced our interest in going ahead with the purchase, but we´re still waiting for the Mexican government to speak out about the terms and conditions of the sale,” Mr. Perez-Guerra pointed out.

Iberia´s chief in Mexico, Felix Gomez, noted that Latin America is one of the most coveted regions for Iberia, especially Mexico that´s seen as a strategic market.
