    Entrevista a Luis Gallego, consejero delegado de Iberia "Iberia no es la causa de la caída de Barajas, sino la solución" Primera entrevista del ejecutivo de Iberia tras su llegada en marzo Luis Gallego, consejero delegado de Iberia. Foto: PABLO MONGE JAVIER F. MAGARIÑO | MADRID | 19-09-2013 No tendrá tiempo de adaptarse a su despacho en Iberia, el de los jefes de toda la vida. Mucha madera, cuero y cables a la vista. Obsoleto. La compañía ultima el traslado a una nueva sede en Madrid y eso es solo un ejemplo de lo que está sucediendo en Iberia: nuevo equipo directivo, un plan de negocio a cinco años que busca la vuelta a beneficios, más cintura en lo comercial y hasta un relanzamiento de la marca. Por el camino, centenares de despidos. A Luis Gallego, consejero delegado desde finales de marzo, le corresponde ejecutar la dura reconversión. “El reto es enorme, pero estoy animado y acepté porque creo que lo podemos hacer”. Sus interlocutores sindicales hablan de un hombre que conoce el oficio. Ingeniero Aeronáutico por la Politécnica de Madrid, arrancó su carrera en el servicio de Formación de Cuadros de Mando del Ejército del Aire. Pasó por Aviaco, Indra, y de 1997 a 2006 trabajó en distintos puestos en Air Nostrum, donde aprendió las claves del negocio aéreo. Fue uno los impulsores de Clickair y participó en la fusión con Vueling, de la que fue director de Producción con mando en operaciones de vuelo, instrucción, mantenimiento u operaciones de tierra. Su penúltima experiencia, lanzar Iberia Express. La actual, hacer una Iberia viable.
