Strengths and opportunities:
- Will merge with British Airways and form a joint venture with American
- Operates Europe's best Latin American network, boosted by strong economic links with Spain
- Progressively reducing its domestic exposure
- Owns 20% of Clickair, which will soon merge with Vueling
- Spain the busiest tourism market in the world by some measures
- Lower costs than other legacy carriers in Europe
- Strong record of profits throughout the current decade

Weaknesses and threats:
- Spain littered with low-cost airline capacity
- Evenutally needs to buy new planes
- No exposure to Asia (Madrid poorly situated for that); arguably overexposed to Latin America
- Air France/KLM strengthening its Latin presence
