Iberia adds new US, Latin America routes
Iberia has released its winter season program (from 26 October 2025 to 28 March 2026) with new routes, and increased frequencies to destinations in Latin America and North America.
One of the main highlights of the winter season is the launch of three new long-haul international routes: Orlando in the US, and Recife and Fortaleza in Brazil.
Starting 26 October, Iberia will operate direct flights between Madrid and Orlando with four weekly frequencies, using 292-seat A330 aircraft.
With this new route, Iberia now offers nine direct destinations in the US.
In Brazil, Iberia is expanding its presence with two new destinations.
Direct flights to Recife will begin on 13 December with three weekly frequencies, and Fortaleza will be added on 19 January, also with three weekly flights.
Both routes will be operated on Airbus A321XLR, for which Iberia was the global launch airline at the end of last year.
These new destinations are part of Iberia’s Flight Plan 2030, the company’s roadmap for growth over the coming years.
In addition to new destinations, Iberia will increase frequencies in key Latin American and North American markets over the coming months.
In the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, the airline will reach a historic record in frequencies.
The Madrid–Santo Domingo route will be boosted by up to four additional weekly flights, reaching two daily services.
The Madrid–San Juan route will see up to seven more weekly flights compared to last winter representing up to 14 weekly frequencies.
Rio de Janeiro will also see an increase, reaching seven weekly flights in February to coincide with Carnival season.
Santiago de Chile will go from ten to twelve weekly flights, and Lima will reach 14, one more than last winter.
In North America, Iberia’s operations will also grow. New York will have two daily flights throughout the winter.
The Madrid–Boston route will double its operations, with up to two daily flights operated by the A321XLR.
Washington DC becomes a year-round destination, with three weekly flights scheduled for the winter.
“This winter, we continue to grow to connect Latin America and North America with Europe through our Madrid hub. Latin America is part of Iberia’s DNA, which is why we continue to invest in this market,” says María Jesús López Solás, Chief Commercial, Network Development and Alliances Officer.
