Iberia signs codeshare agreement with China Southern
Iberia and China Southern Airlines have inked a codeshare agreement to strengthen connectivity between China, Europe, and onward to Latin America.
A new direct Guangzhou–Madrid route, operated by China Southern, will be the focus of the cooperation.
Iberia customers will be able to connect to major Chinese cities via Guangzhou, while travellers from China will gain access to Iberia’s extensive network in Spain, Europe, and Latin America.
Under this agreement, Iberia will add its code (IB) to China Southern’s Guangzhou – Madrid flight as well as to onward destinations in China.
China Southern’s code (CZ) will be marketed on most of Iberia’s domestic destinations and on several cities in Latin America.
Iberia’s codeshare flights with China Southern will operate three times a week, connecting Madrid and Guangzhou.
“This alliance is a decisive step in our international growth strategy. It strengthens Madrid’s position as an intercontinental hub and consolidates Iberia’s role as a natural bridge between Europe, Asia, and Latin America,” said María Jesús López Solás, Commercial, Network Development and Alliances Director at Iberia.
