The Iberia Group (Iberia, Iberia Express and Iberia Regional Air Nostrum) reached an all-time high in 2024 by transporting 30,732,745 passengers. These figures are due to the increase in demand for both business and leisure travel, as well as the good performance of all markets, especially Latin America and the new destinations launched in the last year.
This growth has occurred across the three airlines that make up the Iberia Group. Specifically, Iberia has transported 18,677,812 passengers, Iberia Express 7,687,718 passengers and Air Nostrum 4,367,215 passengers.
These figures demonstrate the strength of the Iberia Group in all markets, with a special focus on Latin America, where Iberia increased its capacity by 16% in 2024. In total, Iberia made 5,300,000 seats available to its customers between Europe and the 18 destinations in Latin America, which translates into 320 weekly flights.
This increase in passengers has also been influenced by the new routes opened by Iberia during the past year, including Japan, a destination inaugurated in October, Tirana, Ljubljana, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Tromso.
"We are very pleased to have been able to transport so many customers to their destinations and to do so under the hallmarks of Iberia: commitment, service and excellence. The good performance of our routes to Latin America, together with the rest of the destinations in North America, Europe and the recently inaugurated route to Japan, have been key to achieving this record. Of course, this achievement would not have been possible without the effort and dedication of all Iberia employees, who make it possible to fulfil our commitment to our customers," said Beatriz Guillén, Iberia's global sales director.
Growth has not been limited to international markets. Iberia Express has seen excellent reception on its routes to the Canary and Balearic Islands, while Iberia Regional Air Nostrum has boosted connectivity on national and European routes. These operations have been fundamental in consolidating the success of the Iberia group and responding to growing customer demand.
