<div>Spain's Iberia has launched a new entry in Europe's competitive market for low-cost airlines.<br />
<br />
The new airline, Iberia Express, begins on Sunday with prices starting at 25 euros (�21) for a one-way ticket.<br />
<br />
Iberia Express will cover Spanish cities including Madrid and the islands such as Ibiza, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.<br />
<br />
The launch comes after Spain's fourth-largest airline Spanair collapsed in January, stranding 20,000 passengers.<br />
<br />
Iberia is owned by the same parent company that owns British Airways.<br />
<br />
The low-cost Iberia Express has 500 staff and has a fleet of four Airbus 320 plane, according to Iberia chief executive Luis Gallego.<br />
<br />
"The containment of costs will allow Iberia Express to grow and compete with the low-cost operators," he said.<br />
Labour dispute<br />
<br />
The new airline's website is advertising for pilots and cabin crew.<br />
<br />
The airline will initially fly to the cities of Vigo, Santiago and Granada, as well as Menorca, Ibiza, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and La Palma.<br />
<br />
Later, it will expand to the Republic of Ireland, Italy, Greece, Latvia and the Netherlands, Mr Gallego said.<br />
<br />
The airline is also the subject of a labour dispute, with the union representing Iberia's 1,600 pilots fearing it will lead to job losses.<br />
<br />
Spanair's collapse cause misery for its passengers<br />
<br />
The dispute with the union led to 12 days of work stoppages in December and January to protest the low-cost airline.<br />
<br />
Separately, the Spanish government has said it is taking legal action over the collapse of Spanair, saying it could be fined 9m euros.<br />
<br />
In 2010, Spanair reported an operating loss of 115m euros.<br />
<br />
After Spanair's collapse, Irish rival Ryanair said it was examining opportunities in Spain. "We certainly see it as an opportunity to expand our base," it said.</div>GeorginaYingling934
