Iberia, a subsidiary of International Airlines Group (IAG), has announced the suspension of its Airbus A321XLR winter flights between Madrid and Washington Dulles International Airport. This decision comes after the airline recently operated the world's first A321XLR flight.
The route from Madrid Barajas International Airport to Washington Dulles will be paused for the winter schedule, with services set to resume in early March 2025. Cirium data shows that Iberia plans to operate 14 flights to Washington in March and increase this number to 26 flights in April.
During the first quarter of 2025, no airlines will serve this market directly, leaving travelers with only connecting flight options from Madrid to Washington. According to Enrilia, an independent route analyst, "Washington, DC, is not a top leisure destination during the winter months," and business travel typically slows down during this period.
