The ceremony presided over by Madrid Mayor Alberto Ruiz Gallardón and Iberia Chairman Antonio Vázquez took place at Iberia’s La Muñoza maintenance installations adjoining the Madrid-Barajas airport.

The aircraft will fly to Copenhagen

On September 30 the 200-seat Airbus, registered as EC-JZM, will fly the official Madrid 2016 delegation to Copenhagen where it will attend the final balloting by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to select the host city of the 2016 games. A second aircraft will carry the remaining part of the delegation, along with journalists and guests.

Both will carry the “Madrid 2016” emblem on seat backs, and it will also appear in the Iberia in-flight magazines Ronda and Excelente, with a press run of 340,000 copies. All this is part of the effort to promote the Madrid candidacy among Iberia passengers and employees at all the destinations served by the Spanish airline.

Iberia was also assigned the task of bringing members of the IOC from Brazil to Spain last May to make an appraisal of Madrid’s candidacy.

More than 6,330 customers and employees have volunteered to support the bid

Iberia is also seeking support for Madrid’s bid among its customers and staff. Via the www.iberia.com web site and the airline’s intranet, as well as company offices in Madrid and the operational hub at T4 in the Madrid-Barajas airport, in the space of a fortnight more that 6,330 people joined the tens of thousands of existing supporters.

This hotel was created with the guiding principle that thoughtful design can minimise the ecological footprint on the environment and even contribute towards improving it. In 2007, the hotel was awarded the official Nordic Ecolabel, otherwise known as “The Swan”.

To receive this label, a hotel must meet numerous requirements – such as reducing the hotel’s energy consumption and using renewable energy sources.

Nordic Light takes its environmental responsibility seriously throughout the hotel: Fair trade coffee and organic food is served in the restaurant and the housekeeping team uses chemical-free cleaning products. The 175 guest rooms are outfitted with Nordic Ecolabelled beds, which are manufactured from recycled metal and wood from environmentally approved forests.

What’s more, Nordic Light Hotel started a project this year together with the Malmö Design Group to invent a stylish bin for the hotel rooms made of waste from the hotel. Showing its strong local roots, the hotel also promotes upcoming local artists who present changing art installations in the lobby.

The combination of art, culture and conscientious design has made the Nordic Light Hotel a happening spot for both locals and out-of-town guests.
