Taken 17 April 2007 from Madrid (Barajas) - MAD to Melilla - MLN

Air Nostrum flies Iberia's regional and commuter services as well as its own flights in a one class configuration. Without any question it puts its mainline partner to shame, offering far better service than Iberia's coach class and even business class on IB's short/medium haul network.

While seating on their rather small planes (CRJ jets, ATR 72 and Dash 8 turboprops) is rather cramped, you get newspapers, magazines, and a very upscale catering, served by smiling and well groomed FAs who work from take off to touch down. On a 1.5 hour flight, I received 2 towel services, drinks, choice of high standard canapes and sandwiches, repeat service, Ice cream, coffee and 2nd round of drinks.

Air Nostrum is quite possibly the world's best regional airline, even counting those in Asia.
