Iberia breaks its capacity record with Latin America in 2025: 5.5 million seats

In 2025, Iberia surpassed its previous record for connectivity between Latin America and Europe, scheduling more than 5.5 million seats on this air bridge this year, 5% more than the 5.3 million offered in 2024. This figure marks a new historic milestone for the airline.

This growth will allow Iberia to operate more than 350 flights across the Atlantic by 2025, connecting Latin America with Europe in a single week, surpassing the 330 weekly frequencies achieved during certain periods last year.

“We are very proud to present these connectivity figures between Latin America and Europe, which help us continue to consolidate our strong leadership position between both regions and continue to position ourselves as the preferred option when crossing this air corridor, especially at a time like this, as
we are about to celebrate 80 years since we became the first airline to make this journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Although our history with Latin America goes back a long way, this record is the result of a reinforcement of our commitment to the region, which we have been promoting for several years,” says Marina Colunga, Iberia's Commercial Director for Latin America.

This milestone is reflected in significant growth in several of the Latin American markets in which Iberia operates:

Peru: where two daily flights have been reached.
Chile: will end the year with 12 weekly flights.
Puerto Rico: will reach up to 11 weekly flights.
The Dominican Republic: will end 2025 and begin 2026 with two operations per day, except for one day a week.

These capacity increases are in addition to the consolidation of other growths that took place in the final weeks of last year, such as the increase to three daily flights to Buenos Aires and two daily flights to Sao Paulo.

Similarly, the routes to Mexico City and Bogotá have three daily flights each, while Montevideo, Quito, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica have one flight per day. Finally, Rio de Janeiro and Caracas have five weekly flights, while Panama City, Havana, and Guayaquil have three weekly flights.

It's worth mentioning that on December 13, Iberia will begin operating its new route to the Brazilian city of Recife, where it will begin operations with three weekly flights.

Madrid, ever closer
Amid this increase in capacity between Latin America and Europe, the increased use that Latin American customers are making of the Hola Madrid stopover program stands out, which allows them to extend their stopover in Madrid by up to nine nights and enjoy a wide range of discounts and benefits on accommodation, leisure,
gastronomy and transportation in the Spanish capital.

The free Hola Madrid stopover allows customers to take advantage of this stopover in the city on their way to or from any of Iberia's other destinations in Spain, Europe, or the rest of the world.
