Coming back on Iberia ( well Air Nostrum/ Iberia Express ) GRX-MAD-LGW everyone told on boarding to put their masks on and several announcements ... crew seemed to be enjoying it a bit too much.

Pretty much nobody in any of the airports wearing masks in the terminal , masking went from well under 5% to 100% only as you got to the aircraft door !

All pretty silly at this stage
Could someone in the know clear this up for me please?

​​​​It's said that BA is following Spanish rules, but most other UK airlines such as Jet 2 and Tui haven't had mask wearing to or from Spain for a LONG time, so why are BA insisting on this? Is it something to do with BA being under the IAG group which is HQ in Madrid I think. As stated above, it seems very silly now.
