Iberia A340-600

A bit odd... But I suppose with the Open Skies agreement we will begin to see more of these.
AerLingus and UNITED today announced the plan to launch joint-venture service on the NEW Washington - Madrid service from March 2010. Ticket to be on sale from April 2009
AerLingus will be operating the service with A330.
The joint-venture service covers:
It is intended that both carriers will equally share the commercial and operating benefits and risk, with Aer Lingus managing the operational aspects of the new partnership services and United Airlines taking responsibility for managing revenue generation.
The pair plans to gradually increase such service and open new routes by Summer 2011
I personally don't believe that IAD-MAD can support both an AerLingus A330 and an Iberia A340. Both Spanair and United were unsuccessful with the route in the past.
