Bickering between travel agencies, Iberia worsens

The deadline fixed by Spanish travel agencies to work out a dragging squabble with Iberia over slashed commissions expired without any agreement whatsoever. Now top members of the Syndicated Travel Agencies of Spain will stop selling Iberia plane tickets as soon as next January if the airline does not implement changes in the current dealership system that cuts commissions down from 6.5 percent to a meager 1 percent. The organization considers that Iberia’s action damages its interest and claims commission fees shouldn’t be lower than 2.5 percent.
