Iberia increases seat capacity for US routes by 14% for summer travel

The A321XLR flights to Washington are set to resume in mid-April after initial scheduling changes. Iberia currently has one XLR aircraft but plans to add seven more, enhancing its long-haul capabilities.

In addition to expanding US routes, Iberia is increasing its presence in Latin America. The airline will offer up to 3.2 million seats between Spain and Latin America, representing a 4% increase compared to last year. Over 300 weekly flights will connect Spain with 18 airports across 16 countries in Latin America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

Buenos Aires and São Paulo are among the cities that will see increased service with three additional weekly flights each. Lima will also gain an extra frequency starting May 2025.

Iberia's proposal for other Latin American destinations remains consistent with last year's offerings, including thrice-daily flights to Mexico City and Bogotá and daily services to Montevideo and Quito.

In Central America and the Caribbean, flight frequencies remain unchanged from 2024 levels. The airline continues daily services to Puerto Rico, Santa Domingo, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and San Salvador.

Across Europe, Iberia plans seasonal resumptions but maintains focus on key markets like France and Italy without changing short- and medium-haul seat availability from summer 2024 levels.
