Iberia Launches Direct Flights to Monterrey
Iberia now operates three weekly flights between Madrid and Monterrey
Iberia is strengthening its commitment to the Mexican market with the launch of its new direct service between Madrid and Monterrey.
The route will operate three weekly flights, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays., and will be served by a next-generation Airbus A330-200 aircraft configured with Business and Economy cabins and capacity for 288 passengers.
This milestone forms part of Iberia’s long-term strategic roadmap, Flight Plan 2030, and enables the airline to offer more than 53,000 seats connecting Monterrey with over 100 destinations across Spain, Europe, Africa and Asia through its Madrid hub.
With the addition of Monterrey, Iberia will now serve two destinations in Mexico with direct flights from Madrid: Mexico City and Monterrey. Together, these routes will offer more than 820,000 seats, representing an 8% increase in capacity compared with a year ago.
The launch of this route is fully aligned with the strategic roadmap outlined in Iberia’s Flight Plan 2030, which seeks to strengthen the airline’s leadership in connectivity between Latin America and Europe while continuing to enhance the customer experience. As a result, Iberia has decided to proceed with the opening of this new route despite the current international environment and the impact of rising fuel prices.
Which is already Iberia’s largest market in Latin America by seat capacity
In addition to launching this direct route, Iberia recently reached an agreement with Viva, enabling customers to connect from Monterrey to 32 destinations across Mexico. Through Monterrey Airport, travellers will gain access to an extensive domestic network serving destinations across Mexico.
To further strengthen ties between Mexico and Spain, Iberia also offers its Stopover Hola Madrid programme. This initiative allows passengers travelling from Monterrey, both on their outbound and return journeys, to enjoy a stopover in Madrid of up to nine nights at no additional airfare cost, while enjoying exclusive discounts on accommodation, transport, dining and leisure activities.
