Iberia is deploying Airbus A330 aircraft on the nonstop route with capacity for 254 passengers across Business, Premium Economy, and Economy classes:
“We’re excited to welcome Iberia and celebrate nonstop service between Orlando and Madrid,” said Lance Lyttle, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
