Iberia adds Belize to its network of destinations in Central America thanks to agreement with TAG Airlines
Within the framework of the International Tourism Fair of Madrid (Fitur 2023), Iberia and TAG Airlines, Guatemala’s flag carrier, signed an interline agreement, which allows each company to market tickets and routes of the other, with the main objective of boosting connectivity between that country and Europe.
With this agreement, Iberia incorporates Belize as a new Central American country to which its customers will be able to travel, while offering new destinations in the interior of Guatemala, such as the renowned archaeological zone of Tikal, Flores or Puerto Barrios, among others. Likewise, travelers originating in Central America will be able to connect with more than 100 destinations in Europe.

Víctor Moneo, Iberia’s Director of Strategic Alliances and Agreements, says that this agreement with TAG Airlines “is another example of our commitment to Latin America, a region that is key for us. In Guatemala, in fact, we recently increased our frequencies and already have a daily flight, while this alliance with TAG Airlines will allow us to offer a greater variety of options for customers who want to travel between Guatemala and Europe.
Also present at the signing of the agreement were Marcela Toriello, president of TAG Airlines, and Julio Gamero, CEO of TAG Airlines, who emphasized that the alliance with Iberia will directly benefit international passengers, who will have a wider range of travel destinations available to them.
Almost 200,000 seats between Guatemala and Spain
Iberia has been strengthening its position in Guatemala and, in fact, recently increased its weekly frequencies to seven, bringing connectivity between the two countries back to a daily flight. This increase in capacity, which began to apply from January 2023, represents a full recovery of the figures Iberia was counting on before the start of the pandemic in 2019.
It is worth noting that at the end of 2022, it will be 55 years since Iberia began flights to Guatemala.
